Ørsted has installed the UK's first nearshore artificial nesting structures for black-legged kittiwakes at the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, aiming to protect the species while advancing renewable energy development. The three structures, each capable of housing up to 500 pairs, utilize advanced technologies for precise installation, facilitating the breeding of approximately 1,500 pairs of kittiwakes. This initiative highlights the potential for innovative solutions to support biodiversity in the offshore wind sector.
