Seafood-ORE working group publishes summary engagement guide for seafood industry and Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) interactions

Led by the independent Chairmanship of Captain Robert McCabe, the Seafood/ORE Working Group was established by the Government in May 2022 to facilitate discussion on matters arising from the interaction of the seafood and offshore renewable energy industries. The completed Summary Guide is intended to provide Offshore Renewable Energy projects and seafood stakeholders with guidance on how to engage and co-exist in a constructive manner throughout the lifecycle of an ORE Project. The publication of the communications guide document marks a significant milestone in the output of the group, which will continue to work on further priority objectives relevant to both industries over the coming year.

Seafood/ORE Working Group Chairman, Captain Robert McCabe:

"The completion of the summary guide document represents a significant achievement in the managed introduction of Offshore Renewable Energy into Ireland’s maritime area, and I wish to commend the considerable efforts of the working group over the past year in finalising a comprehensive engagement guide within a challenging timeframe."
