Research published by SOWEC explores how developers of offshore wind could go above and beyond existing mitigations to maximise opportunities for nature while developing green infrastructure projects. 

Supported by SOWEC, the Collaboration for Environmental Mitigation & Nature Inclusive Design (CEMNID) project, a collaboration between offshore wind developers and Scottish regulators, has produced a new set of tools for the sector including a ‘Good Practice Mitigation Library’ and a suitability review of Nature Inclusive Design measures. These offer a practical framework for the offshore wind sector to deliver projects with minimal impact and to benefit the marine environment.
