Projects

We’re driving innovation in nature enhancement, from breeding oysters and building reefs to refining research and monitoring techniques. With the help of our industry partners, scientists, and government, we’re pushing the boundaries of marine restoration – one project at a time.

Blauwwind

Oyster populations need rebuilding. This project explores whether oysters can reproduce and establish on shell and stone substrates around wind turbines.

Eneco Luchterduinen

We're uncovering the best conditions for oysters to thrive in offshore wind farms, proving that renewable energy and marine restoration can go hand in hand.

Vattenfall

Can water replenishment holes serve as shelter and feeding grounds for fish, anemones, crabs, and shrimp? The initial results are promising!

Gemini

This project aims to build a 5-hectare oyster bank at Gemini Offshore Wind Farm and study the oysters' growth, survival, reproduction, and settlement over time.

The Offshore Test Site

We're testing four different artificial reefs here on a small scale to determine which structures work best as shelter and breeding grounds for marine life.

Flat Oyster Breeding Line

Oysters are superheroes of the sea, and crucial for a healthy underwater ecosystem. That’s why we're on a mission to bring them back to the North Sea.

Ørsted

Could an artificial reef be a suitable home for this species? This project set out to find answers to how both Atlantic Cod and the European lobster fare in artificial reefs.
