Artificial reef created at offshore wind farm

One of the largest artificial reefs in the world has been installed at a wind farm off the Sussex coast.

The project at the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is the first of its kind, with 75,000 specially designed "reef cubes" placed at the bottom of a single turbine.

It is part of a nature-inclusive design project, with the cubes helping to protect the turbine from erosion while also serving as a home for a wide range of marine life.

Helen Elphick, an innovations partner at RWE, the company that operates Rampion, said it was exciting to be involved in a trial which was a "sustainable win-win".
