Nature-inclusive design is increasingly gaining attention in the UK as a crucial approach for enhancing biodiversity within renewable energy developments. This method integrates ecological considerations into project planning and execution, aiming to support and improve marine ecosystems while advancing renewable energy goals.

The UK marine sector encompasses a range of industries and organisations, each with unique perspectives and requirements for nature-inclusive design. This project aimed to collect these varied viewpoints to pinpoint key concepts, issues, and commonalities.

The data and evidence from this project provide insights into the diverse perspectives, priorities, and potential barriers faced by stakeholders in the marine sector regarding nature-inclusive design for offshore renewable energy developments. This information was gathered to inform the understanding of key concepts, issues, and commonalities among stakeholders, enabling the development of strategic approaches and tailored solutions that drive the adoption and future planning of nature-inclusive design in UK waters.
