Hywind Scotland
Equinor, operator of Hywind Scotland, is collaborating with Scottish Government Directorate Marine Scotland to better understand how fishers can safely operate around and within floating offshore wind farms. In a survey undertaken at Hywind Scotland in 2022, Marine Scotland tested three kinds of fishing gear; creels, fishtraps and jigging lines. Whilst not all of these fishing methods are used commercially around Hywind Scotland itself, the purpose is to demonstrate how methods used globally can interact with floating offshore wind farms.
