Permission for seaweed cultivation successfully completed
In the WIN@sea project, we are investigating the possibility of cultivating various species of seaweed in the offshore wind farm at Kriegers Flak. And now, we have obtained the permit from the Danish Coastal Authority! This means that we are now allowed to establish a pilot-scale cultivation facility within Kriegers Flak wind farm. The facility…

A bouy has been put out at Kriegers Flak to collect mussel spat
In the WIN@sea project, we are investigating the possibility of cultivating different species of seaweed in the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm, and we are also examining the feasibility of cultivating blue mussels in the area. Therefore, we are working on collecting mussel spat, which is the tiny larvae of blue mussels. Mussels are reproduce…

Measurement of biodiversity using environmental DNA method
One of the activities in the WIN@sea project is to investigate the biodiversity in the wind turbine park at Kriegers Flak. In this case it is done using a special technique called environmental DNA (eDNA). In June, AURORA, Aarhus University’s research ship, sailed through Kriegers Flak wind turbine park on its way home from ”Folkemødet”…

Underwater robot mapping biodiversity
In mid-June, researchers from Aarhus University conducted studies at Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm using Aarhus University’s motorboat called Niisa. The purpose of the trip was to investigate the plant and animal life on three wind turbine foundations – from the water surface to the bottom – not only on the foundations themselves but also…

A strong focus on risk assessment
One of the tasks in the WIN@sea project is to explore how offshore wind farms can be combined with aquaculture. When working at sea with heavy equipment, wind, and waves, there is an extra focus on safety. Currently, the work that participants in the WIN@sea project will do in the wind farm at Kriegers Flak…

First meeting of the stakeholder group
With the WIN@sea project, it is the first time production of fossil-free energy in an offshore wind farm is combined with following; aquaculture production of food in the form of seaweed and mussels, mapping of biodiversity differences at the wind turbine foundations and in the area surrounding the turbines, as well as environmental monitoring. The…

Initiation of a unique collaboration
The WIN@sea project lasts for 4 years, and in the early summer of 2023, the first research – and development activities begin at Vattenfall’s offshore wind farm at Kriegers Flak. In March, project participants were therefore gathered at Vattenfall’s facility at Klintholm Harbor on the island of Møn. From here the wind turbines in the…

Hav-kokkeskoler for familier på kattegatcentret i Grenå
I september slog Kattegatcentret dørene op for et nyt koncept kaldet ”Hav-kokkeskoler for familier”, hvor fokus er at lære familier, hvordan man kan anvende tang og muslinger i lækre og velkendte dagligretter. I første omgang var 24 familier på havkokkeskole i Kattegatcentret, hvor de stiftede bekendtskaber med både muslinger og de tre tangarter: sukkertang, søsalat…

Klar til start……… første dyrkningsforsøg med rødalgen afsluttet med succes
DTU aqua skal dyrke søl og sukkertang på Kriegers Flak i forskellige vanddybder for at belyse interaktionen mellem tangart, samt spirens længde ved udsætningstidspunktet. Derfor har reb podet med mikroskopiske søl (se billede 1) sporer siden starten af året spiret langsomt til små røde søl (se billede 2) i DTU´s tang-klækkeri. I løbet af spiringen…
