It's finally here! We're excited to announce the launch of the Rich North Sea Toolbox, your knowledge hub for underwater nature enhancement. The Toolbox is designed to inspire, educate, and empower individuals and organizations to make a profound positive impact on marine ecosystems, starting with the North Sea. Over the past few months, we've added new content and sections on monitoring, species, and nature enhancement methods. Whether you're a marine biologist, project manager, environmental advocate, or you're curious about nature inclusive design, the Toolbox will spark your curiosity and expand your knowledge. We hope that one day, using the Toolbox isn't just a best practice, but the only way of doing business in the offshore sector.
What's in the Toolbox?
The Toolbox is a destination where you can:
- Learn about innovative nature enhancement techniques in offshore wind farms
- Get inspired by real-world projects in the North Sea
- Access practical information to help you start your own nature enhancement projects
Get inspired by nature enhancement projects
What does nature enhancement look like underwater? The Toolbox gives you an interactive experience to help you learn about activities like reef building and scour protection, the species affected by these efforts, and find projects that apply these techniques.
Along with offering comprehensive content and expert insights, the Toolbox is a resource that connects like-minded individuals and organizations committed to protecting marine ecosystems.
In our project map, you can tap on the icons in project locations to learn about real-life examples that can motivate you to embark on your own nature enhancement journey. Each project tells a unique story, where scientific methods are applied, surprising insights are found, and each journey has unique lessons.
