Deadline approaching! Don't miss the chance to have your say in the AquaWind project survey, enhancing and shaping a sustainable and innovative future in the Atlantic region 👉 https://lnkd.in/eahSiFxZ. AquaWind aims to integrate offshore wind energy and innovative solutions for fish aquaculture in the Atlantic region 🐟 INNOSEA is part of a consortium consisting of 9 partners from across France, Spain, and Portugal working on the project. As part of its activities, the Maritime Cluster of the Canary Islands, is surveying public industry opinion on the project. If you are in the following groups and have an interest in offshore wind development in the Atlantic and Canary Islands, we would like to hear from you: ⭐ Scientific community (researchers, PhD students) ⭐ Industry representatives and investors ⭐ Social actors (citizens, the public, and civil society organisations) ⭐ Fishing community ⭐ Politicians and decision-makers Please take a few minutes to complete our survey, which can be finished in less than 10 minutes. The deadline for completing the survey is February 29th❗ More information about the project is available at https://lnkd.in/efyEwwzS. INNOSEA is a partner of the AquaWind project, which is co-funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101077600

Here at RSK Wilding we are acutely aware of the issues around BNG and the development of brownfield land, specifically in light of the Government’s (understandable) desire to focus house-building on our post-industrial sites. The problem is that not all brownfield land is low in biodiversity, often quite the opposite, so developers need to understand the implications of this. But it is also important to be aware that this can mean both constraints and opportunities. For more of an in-depth discussion into this nuanced issue, see the newly-published article - co-authored by RSK Wilding Director Jon Davies and our RSK Geosciences colleague Dr. Tom Henman - in 'Counting on Net Gain', in the latest edition of environmental SCIENTIST. #BNG #Biodiversity #RSKGroup

Complex artificial structures promote fish diversity and abundance, including increasing the productivity of key species with flow-on benefits to adjacent habitats. Purpose-built artificial reefs do the same thing. Food for thought Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
Thousands of oil and gas structures in the oceans that are approaching obsolescence. Should they stay or go? I think most people would want them removed, but the matter is complicated when you look closely. For example, these structure are now home to abundant and sometime rare marine life. Robust and independent research is needed to make informed decisions. In a new paper led by Matthew Birt from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, we investigated the contribution of Esso's offshore platforms in southeastern Australia to fish production. Here's what we found: · Platforms promote fish diversity and abundance in areas where it would be otherwise be minimal. · Platform production measures were relatively high compared to other artificial reefs and habitats around the world (82 g/m2/year). · The bottom parts of the structure are most important for fish production. · Complete removal of infrastructure would likely eliminate most fish production at that location. We’ve known for a long time that there are lots of fish on offshore oil and gas structures, but what’s new here is the insight into how much fish are being PRODUCED at the structures, as opposed to be attracted from the surrounding area. The study also provides advances in how to measure fish production. So, what do we do with this information? In this paper, I think we need to consider whether the levels of fish production are ‘meaningful’ - i.e. if we’re weighing up the pros and cons of leaving these structures in the oceans, are the levels of fish production on the level of hugely important, or just ‘meh, no big deal’? The answer to this question is somewhat subjective, which is why I’m happy to leave it to the decision makers and stick to generating the science to inform decision making!

Offshore decommissioning is becoming a hot topic now. Time is not really on our side so the more studies that are conducted will help the decision making process.

Dear network, I'm very pleased to announce the publication of an article which I'm a co-author of, in the international environmental science journal "Ecohydrology" 🎉 😁 It focuses on the impact of hydropeaking on cyprinids larvae, knowing that there is little research about those species, contrary to salmonid ones. Many factors impacted the experiments, such as the time of the day and the water temperature 🐟 📣 If you want to know more about this study, check out the article on this link : https://lnkd.in/ex6m-8uZ 😄 I'm really grateful to Stefan Auer and Simon Führer for this opportunity and it was a great pleasure to work with everyone on this study !

Important topic to study how artificial reefs could increase biodiversity and improve water quality in offshore wind parks of the Baltic Sea. Most of the studies of this topic are done in other sea areas where the environment is very different than the environment of the Baltic Sea. OX2 has their Projekt Björkskär in the Åland area, where they test how different materials attract animals and algae and could increase biodiversity in the offshore wind parks. More information is found here: https://lnkd.in/dUdTYvNF These study areas are located in the southern Baltic Sea and Åland and it would be good to study this also in the northern areas of the Baltic Sea where salinity is low and bluemussels and macroalgaes do not occure as abundantly as in the more southern areas. How to make positive impact for the Baltic Sea in the offshore wind parks of the Bothnian Bay?
RWE is investigating how artificial reefs at #offshorewind farms in the #BalticSea can affect the marine ecosystem and whether they can create an attractive marine habitat, particularly for blue mussels, algae and fish species. In partnership with Linnéuniversitetet and cable service provider BALTIC OFFSHORE KALMAR AB, RWE is conducting a pilot study in the Swedish Baltic Sea. 🇸🇪 Sven Utermöhlen, CEO of RWE Offshore Wind, and Catherine Legrand, Professor in Marine Ecology at Linnaeus University, spoke on the research process. 🪸
