In 2022, Marine Scotland, in collaboration with Equinor as operator of Hywind Scotland, conducted a survey at the floating wind farm to test three types of fishing gear—creels, fish traps and jigging lines—around and within the project area. The work aimed to understand how different fishing methods can safely operate in and interact with floating offshore wind farms, providing evidence to support coexistence between fisheries and floating wind developments.
