EU project OLAMUR

Aquaculture within offshore wind farms

Ensuring global food security for the growing population is an important topic that many researchers are dealing with. As the demand for food and sustainable resources increases, the world's oceans play an increasingly important role in the nutrition, health and well-being of populations. But the production of marine resources can no longer be sustained by ecosystems and natural fisheries production only. The EU project OLAMUR (Offshore Low-trophic Aquaculture in Multi-use Scenario Realisation), which runs from January 2023 to December 2026, aims to help combine aquaculture production with renewable wind energy and, through far-reaching progress, create a framework for a healthy, fair, safe, climate – and environmentally friendly offshore low-trophic aquaculture within multi-use systems.
