This idea was initially tested in a range of experiments focusing on the [...] that a very similar but natural process was already well underway: especially in the shallow shelf seas, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere was dissolving in the water, making it increasingly acidic. Since

In connection with current plans for a massive expansion of wind farms in offshore areas of the North Sea, the idea emerged to combine these with the installation of extensive mariculture for bivalves and [...] interaction between physical offshore processes and man-made structures in areas of the German North Sea territory where mariculture has potential, the conditions for possible combination of mariculture [...] ment force experiments that algae were capable of resisting the high-energy environment of the North Sea. The concentration of mussel larvae in the water column decreased offshore and resulted in a low

However, especially the hydrodynamics of the North Sea play a key role as hindrance of establishing commercial marine aquaculture in Germany.
