Offshore Marine Environment Protection | EirGrid Group

📢 As we advance offshore wind infrastructure along Ireland’s south coast, protecting the marine environment remains at the heart of our approach 💙🦈

As part of our 2026 survey campaign, dedicated Marine Mammal Observers are monitoring whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and other protected species. Their observations help inform real-time mitigation measures designed to minimise disturbance and support responsible survey activities 🦐🔍

The insights gathered help shape project design and reduce environmental impact. We are also exploring nature-inclusive innovations, including reef cubes, fish habitats and protective marine matting, to support biodiversity and create positive outcomes for marine life 🪼 🙌

Building the best energy future is one that leaves a positive legacy for people, nature and our seas⚡🌊
