Collaborative project: Offshore site selection for sustainable and multifunctional use of marine areas in heavily used oceans on the example of the North Sea – Subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2817300910
Contract period: 01.04.2012
- 31.03.2015
Budget: 144,719 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Objectives: The project aims to create a 'multi-use road map” as a tool for future (existing and further) use of marine areas in the German Bight using the example 'aquaculture” in combination with other infrastructures, such as offshore-wind farms as well as new strategies in the field of passive fisheries. This multiple use concept will help to regulate and reduce the impact on the ecosystem. Planned Tasks: The principle concept is to create a tool or model that will support the future planning and management of marine areas in the context of an aquaculture-wind farm combination. In addition suitable test sites for multiple uses will be identified. These potential 'co-use”-areas will be classified by using GIS-based decision tools based on verified site-selection criteria. As a result this analysis aims to obtain a review, adjustment and/or amendment of the 'Marine Facilities Ordinance” as well as further required investigation (Environmental Impact Assessment, Licensing Procedure for Offshore Wind Farms I, II & III) to simplify the multiple use of marine areas. AWI will check and establish the major site-selection criteria by combining data from sea-going expeditions as well as from computer based models.
