Virtual Floating Offshore Wind Planning

Status: Complete

Start Date: November 2021

Lead Organisation: National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO)

Recognising the importance of co-existence of offshore renewable projects and fisheries, The Crown Estate supported the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO) to undertake a series of workshops to facilitate dialogue, the outputs and recommendations from which are contained within a report.

The aim of the project was to take positive, practical steps to support the drive for co-existence between the offshore renewable industry and UK fishing industry. The project enabled evidence supported dialogue and knowledge sharing with the aim of improving the planning process and development of offshore wind through greater co-operation and mutual understanding of sector needs of the fishing industry and the offshore wind sector.
