Assessment of environmental pressures and state in relation to three Danish offshore wind farms
Summary
This report catalogs the ecological conditions and environmental pressures in and around three planned Danish offshore wind farm sites, intended to inform nature-inclusive design approaches. The assessment of baseline ecological conditions at proposed offshore sites helps ensure that wind energy development is designed to minimize and potentially enhance local marine biodiversity.
This report is a catalogue prepared for the Danish Energy Agency with focus on describing the ecological conditions and pressure factors in the waters in and around the three planned offshore wind farms: North Sea I, Kattegat and Kriegers Flak II. The catalogue is intended for use as inspiration in future tenders for the three farms where a "nature inclusive design" can be used to remedy the general environment and the state of nature in the area.
