The Increase in Capacity of Groups Will Contribute to Effective Maritime Spatial Planning for the Future, Including Additional Knowledge, Resources from Environmental NGOs, and Participation in Public Consultation Periods.
The Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications of Ireland, Eamon Ryan TD, announced additional funding of over €1 million for the Irish Environmental Network (IEN). The funding will allow environmental NGOs actively involved in the marine environment sector to develop their capacity and ensure additional knowledge in critical areas for achieving Ireland’s offshore wind ambitions. These areas include marine science and research, the offshore wind planning system, and capacity.
The additional funding announced today will ensure that environmental NGOs can contribute to the establishment of future MSPs, through participation in public consultation periods. This will include an upcoming second public consultation period for the South Coast MSP, scheduled for early 2024. Ryan said: ‘A properly resourced environmental NGO sector is essential for our ongoing work to accelerate the provision of offshore renewable energy. ‘In particular, the work of environmental NGOs in conservation, public awareness, and education will make a significant contribution to the establishment of future offshore MSPs.’
Offshore Wind: The Future of Renewable Energy
Offshore wind is one of the most promising forms of offshore renewable energy in the world. With the capacity to provide a clean and renewable energy source, offshore wind has the potential to revolutionize the way we obtain our energy.

Additional Knowledge about Offshore Wind
The development of planning systems for offshore wind requires a solid foundation of marine science and research. Moreover, public engagement and resources from environmental NGOs play a crucial role in future maritime spatial planning.
Local Communities and the Fishing Industry in Offshore Wind
The impact of offshore wind on local communities and the fishing industry is an important aspect to consider. Participation in public consultation periods is essential to ensure conservation and public awareness about environmental protection and biodiversity in marine areas.
Conservation Objectives in Offshore Wind
The conservation of sites and environmental protection are key objectives when developing offshore wind projects. It is essential to ensure a balance between the development of the offshore wind industry and the preservation of sensitive marine areas.
