Offshore renewable energy is key to the energy transition. Yet, offshore wind farms will take up large areas and thus pose a challenge to nature at sea. Can innovative design contribute to reducing environmental impacts of offshore wind farms? Could such design even actively enhance marine ecosystems and thus make a net-positive contribution? The Joint Industry Project SPREE tested novel design of scour protection to develop more insights into these questions.

Have a look at this video which provides a short summary and some visual impressions of the work the consortium did.
