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.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

80 million bombs still buried, toxic metals leaking into the soil, and crops surrounded by unexploded ordnance make Laos one of the most dangerous and silent war legacies on the planet.

War in Iran takes a turn today: with reinforced control in Hormuz, shots fired at a tanker, six airports reopened, and renewed tension in Lebanon.

Study at Fiocruz for free! The institution offers more than 30,000 spots in 100% online free courses with certificates on Mental Health, Toxicology, Pharmacy, and much more; see how to enroll.

A 13-year-old boy accidentally finds real treasure with a metal detector on an island in Germany, and the discovery reveals rare Viking pieces linked to Harald Bluetooth.

A Brazilian in the skies: Alexandre Frota completes the first stage of his round-the-world trip by landing solo in the United States aboard a single-engine RV-10.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
