FEM Tribune 2020 - Round table Environmental recommendations

Which scientific tools to take into account the challenges of a territory?

 The establishment of ORE farms raises issues of confrontation of environmental and/ or economic uses of the sea. The initiators of such projects, such as the Eoliennes en mer Dieppe Le Tréport, are implementing a number of concrete actions to address the concerns of the various stakeholders. In this same dynamic, the provision of scientific tools seems crucial. Among them is first and foremost the committee of neutral and independent experts COME3T. This body provides recommendations on the environmental and socio-economic issues of ORE, based on existing scientific knowledge.

The scientific tools are also the result of collaborative R&D projects such as ANODE, dedicated to the quantitative evaluation of metals released into the marine environment from the galvanic anodes of ORE structures, and TROPHIK, which led to the drafting of recommendations for an ecosystem approach to the implementation of offshore wind farms.
