How The Hague Contributes
The Hague is strongly interlinked with the North Sea. The 11 kilometers of coastline and rich dune area is an important attraction for both residents of The Hague and tourists. The North Sea Farm is located not far off the coast of The Hague. This is a foundation that offers space for innovations such as seaweed, oyster and mussel cultivation. It is also developing commercial applications for seaweed and a floating solar park that promotes aquaculture while generating energy from the sun.
