Abstract

Most scholars discuss the food-water-energy-climate nexus as it emerges on land. Less attention has been paid to the food-water-energy-climate nexus as it exists in the ocean, but that nexus exists—and it is beginning to be strained. This Article, a companion piece to the forthcoming “It’s Not Just an Offshore Wind Farm,” explores the international drive to combine offshore wind facilities with marine aquaculture, an emerging example of the water-energy-food nexus in the marine environment. Many nations are becoming increasingly interested in both offshore wind farms and open ocean marine aquaculture, but both enterprises take up considerable space in the marine environment. The resulting actual and potential crowding creates and threatens conflicts both with other uses, such as fishing, ecotourism, and shipping, and with marine protection and biodiversity goals. In Europe, where offshore wind facilities have become quite extensive, co-location of facilities has emerged as a strategy to reduce competition for offshore space that might simultaneously benefit marine aquaculture and enhance food security. This article examines the increasing drive toward co-locating offshore wind and open ocean aquaculture facilities and offers suggestions for how law might better promote this form of co-location through ongoing marine spatial planning efforts.
收获风,收获你的晚餐:用法律鼓励近海能源-食品多用途联系
大多数学者在陆地上讨论食物-水-能源-气候的关系。很少有人关注海洋中存在的食物-水-能源-气候关系,但这种关系确实存在,而且正开始变得紧张。这篇文章是即将出版的“这不仅仅是一个海上风电场”的姊妹篇,探讨了将海上风力设施与海洋水产养殖结合起来的国际动力,这是海洋环境中水-能源-食物联系的一个新兴例子。许多国家对海上风电场和开放海洋水产养殖越来越感兴趣,但这两种企业在海洋环境中都占据了相当大的空间。由此产生的实际和潜在的拥挤造成并威胁着与其他用途的冲突,如渔业、生态旅游和航运,以及海洋保护和生物多样性目标。在欧洲,海上风电设施已经变得相当广泛,设施的共同选址已经成为一种战略,以减少对海上空间的竞争,这可能同时有利于海洋水产养殖和加强粮食安全。本文研究了海上风力和开放海洋水产养殖设施共同选址的日益增长的动力,并就法律如何通过正在进行的海洋空间规划工作更好地促进这种形式的共同选址提出了建议。
