摘要：Offshore wind farming is a contentious new form of sea use and a prominent driver of change across Europe.Drawing on the results of the research program Zukunft Küste - Coastal Futures, this contribution considers the resilience ofthe social-ecological system to the introduction of offshore wind farming in a northern German case study region. We do so byfocusing on regime shifts and cross-scale effects, described through the concepts of adaptive cycles and ecosystem services.Offshore wind farming is shown to lead to a potential slow regime shift in the marine ecosystem, as well as a more rapid regimeshift in the seascape. These shifts lead to changes in the available ecosystem services and conflicts between new and traditionalsea and seascape values. We then explore the impact of these changes on the socioeconomic system on the coast. Against thebackground of the system's current state and constraints, we argue this impact could be creative and innovative, but this trajectorydepends on an internal socio-political shift and willingness to change
