Coexistence at sea

Floating wind, biodiversity and coexistence in open waters

DemoSATH Lab turns an operating platform into a unique validation environment: advanced monitoring, biodiversity, fisheries, nature-inclusive solutions and applied R&D working together in real conditions.

Field work beside the DemoSATH platform in open waters

Marine life around the submerged DemoSATH structure

Environmental research

Offshore campaigns to observe biodiversity, underwater noise, birds, bats, benthic communities and marine activity.

Stakeholders

Listening and collaboration with fisheries, administrations, technology centres, associations and other users of the marine space.

Nature-inclusive solutions

NIDs, Life Boosting Units and biomimetic surfaces installed to test native colonisation under real conditions.

R&D and transferable knowledge

R&D projects, data, reports and publications to bring learning into the design of future floating wind farms.

Field work

DemoSATH Lab in real operation

A direct look at work carried out offshore: installation of nature-inclusive solutions, biodiversity monitoring and environmental monitoring on the DemoSATH platform, in operation since 2023.

DemoSATH Lab awarded at World Maritime Week (WMW).Recognition of the work carried out to promote coexistence, sustainability and applied research in floating offshore wind.

Latest activities

Recent DemoSATH Lab milestones

DemoSATH Lab brings together applied biodiversity, co-use, environmental monitoring and R&D work. These activities show how solutions are tested, data is generated and knowledge useful for future floating wind farms is validated.
