Train-the-Trainer Workshop Series
In early 2026, ULTFARMS hosted a Train-the-Trainer workshop in Delft, bringing together partners from Associated Regions to explore how Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) can support low-trophic aquaculture in offshore wind farms.
The four-part video series, featuring experts from Deltares, combines lectures, hands-on training, and interactive demonstrations to translate MSP concepts into practice. It begins with an introduction and lecture on the EU MSP Directive in the context of low-trophic aquaculture in offshore wind farms, presented by Bas Bolman, followed by a hands-on GIS workshop for MSP led by Nathalie Dees.
The series continues with a presentation on the Greater North Sea Basin Initiative (GNSBI) and an interactive visit to the Deltares ID-Lab with Sharon Tatman, and concludes with a guided walkthrough of interactive GIS exercises, again led by Nathalie Dees.
Together, the sessions blend expert insight with practical application to strengthen skills in spatial planning.

From training and exchange, to real-world application in the Associated Regions and ULTFARMS pilot sites, the knowledge shared in this workshop supports the development of ocean multi-use, offshore wind energy, and low-trophic aquaculture in practice.
