DHI aims to better engage in sustainable development of the marine and coastal environment by collaborating with the diverse community that comprises the World Ocean Council (WOC).

DHI wants to contribute to major commercial developments in relation to the sustainable use of the world’s oceans, the company’s press release reads.

Andreas Brogaard Buhl, Head of the Ecology and Environment Department for DHI Denmark, said: “We will be part of the ocean business community in a new way.
