Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-50850-0 (ISBN)
The generation of offshore energy is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic, and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails. Covering all energy-generation types (wind, wave, tidal, oil, and gas), it explores the direct and indirect impacts the growth of offshore energy generation has on both the marine environment and the existing uses of marine space.
Chapters explore main issues associated with offshore energy, such as the displacement of existing activities and the negative impacts it can have on marine species and ecosystems. Chapters also discuss how the growth of offshore energy generation presents new opportunities for collaboration and co-location with other sectors, for example, the co-location of wild-capture fisheries and wind farms.
The book integrates these issues and opportunities, and demonstrates the importance of holistic marine spatial planning for optimising the location of offshore energy-generation sites. It highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement in these planning processes and the role of integrated governance, with illustrative case studies from the United States, United Kingdom, northern Europe, and the Mediterranean. It also discusses trade-off analysis and decision theory and provides a range of tools and best practices to inform future planning processes.
Katherine L. Yates is a Lecturer at The University of Salford, United Kingdom, specialising in spatial planning, distribution modelling, and stakeholder engagement. She is also a National Environmental Research Council Knowledge Exchange Fellow working with the United Kingdom Marine Management Organisation. Corey J. A. Bradshaw is Matthew Flinders Fellow in Global Ecology and Professor in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. His research is mainly in the area of global-change ecology—how human endeavour and climate fluctuations have altered past, present, and future ecosystems.
