“Offshore wind as a win-win for nature and climate: The Belgian Offshore Platform, an association of investors and owners of wind farms in the Belgian part of the North Sea, and 4Sea, a coalition of environmental organisations, will work together for the development of wind energy in the Belgian part of the North Sea to benefit both nature and climate. Based in part on the findings of more than 10 years of scientific research on existing wind farms (WinMon.BE 2020), they are convinced that further development of offshore wind energy can go hand in hand with the protection of the marine environment and marine biodiversity, provided that one starts from the biodiversity or other natural habitats to be protected.”
