The UK has the potential to be a world leader in floating offshore wind and I was proud to see first-hand the pivotal research the University of Plymouth is playing in realising this goal.
Developing Floating Offshore Wind energy on our doorstep off the coast of South West England is a unique opportunity that could sail away from our region unless it is anchored by a dedicated Celtic Sea Strategy.
