Abstract

- Licensing arrangements for marine renewable energy (MRE) developments must consider potential environmental effects.
- These include the single, combined and cumulative effects of multi-site MRE developments over a wider region.
- We introduce here a “toolbox” of datasets and methods to quantify the effects of wave and tidal stream MRE developments.
- These were applied to the area of greatest MRE development potential in Scottish waters (Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters).
