Delivery Options for Strategic Marine Net Gain

Status: Complete

Start Date: December 2022

Lead Organisation: Seabed USer and Developer Group

The findings from this project will support Defra’s ongoing marine net gain policy development work and link to related nature recovery initiatives. This work builds on outputs from the Strategic Net Gain Targets for Coastal and Marine Environments project also funded by OWEC.

The Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Strategic Net Gain Task and Finish Group (Task & Finish Group), established under Defra’s Offshore Wind Enabling Actions Programme, aims to evaluate delivery models for marine net gain, and will seek input from a wide range of stakeholders to help define a set of recommendations on how national net gain targets could be delivered at a more local/regional level.
