Ms Patricia Comiskey:

If members thought Firth of Forth was a tongue twister, I am actually not going to pronounce the names of the MPAs I am referring to. There is a project based in Belgium. A colleague of mine is on an EU project called European Scalable Offshore Renewable Energy Source, EU-SCORES, which is studying opportunities for co-location. We were recently at a session exploring opportunities for co-location throughout Europe. In Belgium, as part of their marine spatial plan, they are considering integrating offshore wind farms on a currently designated MPA area. I will supply the name afterwards; I am just not going to pronounce it. It is in Belgium. In the Netherlands, there are currently deployed wind farms where they are considering actively co-locating MPAs, so they are looking at the reverse. They are examining areas where they could passively fish or put in place nature conservation measures to encourage the development of an MPA. There are definitely opportunities and examples in other jurisdictions where this is being actively looking at.
