\u00d8rsted and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF Denmark) are testing how 3D printed reefs can benefit biodiversity in the Kattegat, a strait between Denmark and Sweden, which is experiencing a historically low cod stock. This is the first time 3D printed reefs are being used in Danish waters, and they will complement existing boulder reefs that \u00d8rsted established when constructing the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm in 2012-13.<\/p>\n

\u00d8rsted and WWF have deployed 12 3D printed reef structures on the seabed between the wind turbines at Anholt Offshore Wind Farm in the Kattegat, which is part<\/a> of the Greater North Sea ecosystem. Among other things, overfishing, increasing oxygen depletion, and habitat loss have resulted in a decline of the cod stock in the Kattegat over the past 20 years. According to \u00d8rsted \u2013 it is now alarmingly low. This creates a negative domino effect in the Kattegat ecosystem, impacting biodiversity and the marine ecosystem\u2019s resilience against climate-driven changes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The two part<\/a>ners hope that it will have positive effects on the Kattegat cod stock and, in turn, contribute to a healthier, more resilient marine ecosystem with improved biodiversity.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe ocean holds vast potential to help meet our climate goals. Improving ocean health and restoring marine biodiversity is fundamental to addressing biodiversity loss and the climate crisis. As governments around the world are ramping up ambitious plans to grow renewable energy<\/a> capacity, offshore wind will take up more space. At \u00d8rsted, we believe action on climate and nature can and must go hand-in-hand, and this exciting project together with WWF Denmark is one of many we\u2019re testing out globally to seek the best solutions to make our ambition of a net-positive biodiversity impact a reality,\u201d said Filip Engel, Vice President of Sustainability at \u00d8rsted.<\/p>\n

\u201dMarine biodiversity in Denmark is under heavy pressure, and today there are 90 % fewer cod in the Kattegat than in 1990. Action is needed \u2013 and urgently. We must give nature and wildlife a hand, while trying to solve our climate crisis by expanding our renewable energy<\/a> production at the same time. To solve the nature crisis, we must leave nature in better shape than before. That\u2019s why we\u2019re very excited that we, together with \u00d8rsted, can test the new, unique 3D-printed reef structures here in Denmark for the first time,\u201d said Bo \u00d8ksnebjerg, Secretary General, WWF Denmark.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In recent decades, attention has been drawn to the fact that the extensive overconsumption of marine resources has had enormous consequences. Globally, these consequences include dwindling fish stocks, oxygen depletion near the seabed, and a loss of habitats for marine life \u2013 such as a massive reduction of eelgrass meadows.<\/p>\n

Cod is an important top predator, meaning it preys on other marine species and thereby contributes greatly to maintaining the balance in the marine ecosystem. When cod gets greatly reduced in numbers, the abundance of their prey \u2013 such as the green crab \u2013 will grow. As a result, seagrasses decline because the crabs eat both the seeds of the eelgrass and many of the snails that keep the eelgrass free from being overgrown with algae.<\/p>\n

This is a problem, as eelgrass is itself of great importance for both biodiversity and the climate. It provides important habitats for marine life, such as juvenile fish, produces oxygen, and stabilizes the seabed. Crucially, eelgrass also very effectively stores carbon in its root network, preventing it from ending up in the atmosphere and contributing to the global temperature rise.<\/p>\n

Last year, WWF Denmark and \u00d8rsted installed biohuts at the piers in the port of Grenaa, in collaboration with the Port of Grenaa and the Kattegat Centre. Together, the two projects offer new habitats for cod at key stages in their life cycle. Biohuts can be described as fish kindergart<\/a>ens as they provide vital protection to small fish. Here, juvenile cod, for example, can seek shelter and food<\/a> until they are large enough to swim out into deeper water.<\/p>\n

The 3D printed reefs are designed and developed based on a collaboration between WWF Netherlands and Reef Design Lab, and are produced by the Italian company, D-Shape.<\/p>\n

The 3D printed reefs look like a wedding cake consisting of several levels that are connected by hollows where fish can swim in and out of hiding places. At the same time, the structures themselves will provide surfaces and crevices where other organisms can attach. The reefs are about one cubic meter in size and vary in width and weight to best imitate natural habitats. Each reef weighs between 200 and 550kg. The reefs are made from 70% sand and 30 % pozzolanic cement \u2013 made from volcanic ash and portland cement. These natural materials are not harmful to the surrounding environment<\/a>, even if part<\/a>s of the reefs erode over time. The 3D printed reefs are biocompatible \u2013 due to the absence of synthetic or toxic substances of industrial origin \u2013 and have a moderately basic pH of around 8.5-9.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00d8rsted has seen how the boulder reefs that the company established when constructing the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm have become attractive oases for other marine species on an otherwise barren seabed. The expectation is that the new 3D printed reefs will complement the stone reefs and will quickly become inhabited with life. WWF already has experience with 3D printed reefs from a project in the Dutch part<\/a> of the North Sea.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe\u2019re very proud to see Anholt Offshore Wind Farm pioneer 3D printed reefs in Danish waters. Biodiversity is a focal point for PensionDanmark, and if this innovative initiative can improve biodiversity in the marine ecosystem, while the wind farm is producing sustainable power, we have a win-win situation for all concerned,\u201d said Torben M\u00f6ger Pedersen, CEO at PensionDanmark, which has a 30% share in the wind farm.<\/p>\n

\u201dProtecting our planet and working towards a sustainable future is important to us. Biodiversity is decreasing worldwide at an alarming rate. We\u2019re proud to support the test of art<\/a>ificial reefs at the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm and its attempt to improve conditions for cod and the wider biodiversity in the area and the Kattegat. We\u2019re looking forward to following the development of marine life conditions in the coming years,\u201d said Jon Johnson, CEO of PKA A\/S, which has a 20% share in the wind farm.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00d8rsted has set the goal to create a net-positive biodiversity impact for all new renewable energy<\/a> projects commissioned from 2030. \u00d8rsted is working together with several ecology experts on different projects to restore and enhance biodiversity \u2013 such as Dutch ARK Nature in a pioneer project in the North Sea \u2013 and with two local wildlife trusts in a flagship project on the Humber estuary on the east coast of Northern England. The company also recently announced ReCoral by \u00d8rstedTM, a world-first attempt at supporting coral reefs by growing corals on offshore wind turbine foundations in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

This project is part<\/a> of a strategic part<\/a>nership between \u00d8rsted and WWF Denmark initiated in 2018. Its purpose is to contribute to saving the world\u2019s climate-threatened wildlife and nature, while also engaging the Danish population in solutions to global warming and creating a society that runs solely on green energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
