Short summary
We studied how French coastal residents view floating offshore wind farms when ecological improvements are added. We found strong support for designs that boost marine life and help small-scale fisheries, even at a higher electricity cost. Views differed slightly by region only regarding recycled materials. Our results show that including social and environmental concerns early can improve acceptance of these projects.
