The Seafood Industry Group submission, which represents the first time the seafood industry has come together as a single voice, says the industry is not against the development of offshore wind energy.
But, in a submission to the Minister for Environment and Climate Change Eamon Ryan, representatives of the catching, fish-farming, processing, and inshore fishing sectors have warned Government ambitions to develop up to 37 gigawatts of electricity from offshore wind by 2050, could result in wind farms 11km wide and 1,110km long.
The group has submitted proposals for a planning process which provides “a sense of how decisions are being made, what factors are taken into account” as well as consideration of who is impacted and the costs involved”. “Increasing our adaptability to climate change and encouraging low greenhouse gas emissions in a way that doesn’t threaten our food supply is at the heart of new approach proposed by the group” said group rapporteur Michael Keatinge.
