On Sweden's west coast lies the Western Sea with Sweden's saltiest water and the largest marine biodiversity. The Western Sea includes both Kattegat, Skagerrak, and the Øresund and is home to species such as mackerel, kelp, octopus, sea stars, corals, dolphins, and a total of 17 species of sharks.
The Swedish government is moving ahead with plans for two offshore wind farms, a project called "Västvind" in the North Sea and a project called "Dyning" in the Baltic Sea.
