Photograph: Julien Behal has teamed up with Codling Wind Park, a new offshore wind venture, to explore the potential for restoring native oyster reefs and seagrass beds at selected sites in the Dublin Bay area.
Codling Wind Park, the State’s largest phase-one offshore wind project, will be located about 13km to 22km off the Wicklow coast between Greystones and Wicklow town. If approved it will generate 1,300 megawatts of clean electricity, enough to power more than a million homes. “We recognise, however, that in parallel with the current climate crisis we are facing a global biodiversity emergency and that it is our responsibility to develop the project in a manner that protects and where possible enhances biodiversity,” he said.
