Assessing the viability of multi-use: Offshore wind and Macroalgae Aquaculture

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

My key objectives are* Undertake co-location analysis, identifying the suitability of offshore wind sites suitable for macroalgae aquaculture around the UK and Europe. * Analyse the feasibility of the most suitable sites identified in the mapping study - this will include the current barriers and risks to deployment, as well as stakeholder analysis to gain a wider understanding of industry opinions towards multi-use areas. * Undertake a materials investigation into sustainable macroalgae lines e.g., the use of wool rather than a plastic. * Quantify the effects of commercial offshore macroalgae aquaculture for biodiversity and the environment.
