Assessing the environmental effects of marine energy is an important step in the permitting process before deploying devices. To help reduce potential impacts, scientists are researching the acoustic impacts to fish and marine mammals and the effect of electromagnetic fields from power cables and de

Ocean energy devices and pilot farms should be demonstrated in real-sea conditions for several years to accelerate large-scale deployment, according to ETIP Ocean’s new ‘Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA)’, published today. This is just one of the priorities that the report identifies for
