Around 450 fishing households have been given direct and ongoing insight and sway over the design decisions made in the wind farm’s ongoing development, including the inclusion of technologies to promote fish stocks at the site of installation, such as planted reefs.

The MoU outlines infrastructural, ecological, and social preparedness to undertake the projects, citing recent purchases of existing offshore oil and gas substations for later use, seabed and environmental impact surveys, and open lines of communication with local fishing families and businesses.
