We need more nature development and diversity in the North Sea.
The Rich North Sea (an initiative of Natuur&Milieu and Stichting De Noordzee) investigates ways to enable marine life to flourish in offshore wind parks. In the past, large oyster beds were prominent in many parts of the Dutch North Sea. Today, disease and intensive activity have caused nearly all of the natural reefs to disappear. The return of these reefs will enrich the North Sea floor.
One of their target areas for the work is in windmill parks, because fishing is not permitted there.
We made infographics and an animation to make their innovative projects transparent to both the general public and yet detailed enough for the experts.
