Dogger Bank is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea, about 100 kilometres (ca. 62 mi) off the east coast of England.
During the last ice age, the bank was part of a large landmass connecting Europe and the British Isles, now known as Doggerland. It has long been known by fishermen to be a productive fishing bank; it was named after the doggers, medieval Dutch fishing boats especially used for catching cod.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the area was identified as a potential site for a UK round 3 wind farm, being developed as Dogger Bank Wind Farm.
