Environmental services are of key importance to offshore wind - especially in the development phase when consenting decisions must be informed by actionable data.

The acquisition and analysis of data on wind, wave, seabed and marine-life is a real strength of the UK. Especially given the vibrant innovation in platforms, sensors and AI.

OWIC's IGP report recognizes this as a priority, noting the UK is already exporting expertise in environmental services. Celtic Sea FLOW offers a particular opportunity, as both a greenfield site and host to a number of companies excelling in this field.
