Investigation of the potential range of socio-economic impacts on the fishing industry from offshore developments
Defra have commissioned a study of the socio-economic impacts that the development of wind farms might have on fishing activities. The purpose of this work is to provide the knowledge necessary to help government make informed decisions on the licensing of new wind farm developments. This Q&A provides further information about the study and contacts details if you wish to be involved.
Proposed sites for round 2 wind farms in the Thames Estuary, the Greater Wash and the North West coast of England and Wales can be found at: http://www.bwea.org/offshore/round-2.html
