About me
My organisation
We are the North Sea Foundation, dedicated to promoting the sustainable use and conservation of the North Sea's rich marine and coastal resources. Our organization engages stakeholders across industries, communities, and governments to foster collaboration and innovation for a healthier marine environment. Through research, advocacy, and practical projects, we aim to raise awareness about the ecological importance of the North Sea, safeguarding its nature for future generations. Together, we strive for a balanced approach that harmonizes human activity with nature, preserving the North Sea's unique biodiversity. The Rich North Sea program aims to recover nature in and around offshore wind farms, while meeting goals of the climate agreement.
