Circular low trophic offshore aquaculture in wind farms and restoration of marine space

Building on the UNITED project, ULTFARMS spent nearly four years testing low-trophic aquaculture of seaweed, mussels and oysters inside offshore wind farms, with 25 partners, six pilots across the North and Baltic Seas and five associate regions. The Ocean Multi-Use Roadmap brings these lessons together in one practical guide, covering licensing, operations, finance, monitoring, upscaling and eco-friendly productivity. Written for policymakers, industry and researchers, it sets out concrete steps to help move this kind of multi-use at sea from demonstration to an established part of Europe's blue economy.
