Ørsted is already working on a variety of biodiversity programmes. Its Wilder Humber project works in partnership with the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trusts in the UK. It is restoring biodiversity around the Humber Estuary by planting seagrass, restoring saltmarsh and creating a biogenic reef using native oysters.
Ørsted is also testing out innovative ways to support warm water coral reefs with its ReCoral project in Taiwan and exploring the potential of marine rewilding in the Netherlands with its partner ARK Nature.“ This toolbox of pilot projects demonstrates the huge range of ideas we need to explore as offshore wind accelerates globally into new ecosystems and communities,” Benj says. sustainabilitymag. com 101
