IUCN

IUCN was named by Ecowende as a project partner for Hollandse Kust West VI (Ecowende). Under this engagement, IUCN experts were to provide guidance to the project on biodiversity monitoring activities associated with the offshore wind farm. The scope described is advisory and ecology-focused: IUCN’s role was to support how biodiversity monitoring is planned and carried out at the wind farm, aligning with Ecowende’s stated ambition to develop an ecology-led project. The announcement positioned IUCN as an expert organisation contributing specialist input to monitoring approaches, rather than as a contractor delivering physical construction works. The source does not disclose contract value, specific monitoring methods, equipment, duration, or detailed deliverables. It also does not specify whether the guidance covers pre-construction baseline work, monitoring during construction, or operational-phase monitoring; it only states that IUCN experts provide guidance for biodiversity monitoring at the wind farm.
