farm planners attention to offshore aquaculture, included authorities and fishermen
into the planning process for site-selection-criteria of appropriate aquaculture sites
as well as stimulated the involvement of offshore engineers and wind farm operators
into the technical part of an offshore aquaculture enterprise. Furthermore, it introduced fishermen to the co-management idea and appraised the potential economics
Fig. 11.1 Offshore aquaculture multi-use projects conducted in the German Bight under the
guidance or participation of AWI from early 2000 ongoing. Next to the chronological order, all
projects are configured in a scientific coherence manner. The project “TROPOS” is marked in a
dotted line as it focused only partly on the German Bight. Additionally, there is a separate chapter
in this book where this project is described in more detail. Project No. 11 “AquaInno” has only
slight overlaps with multi-use aspects and therefore is not mentioned in detail. Project
No. 12 “EuroTour” deals with site-selection and health status of offshore environments along
the European Atlantic Coast. Project No. 16 focuses on restoration for nature conservation
purposes. The Project No. 17 “MUSES” just started after submission of this book. Modified and
updated after Buck et al. 2008a
