What are the potential environmental impacts that need to be considered?
Wave energy technology has yet to have a comprehensive body of environmental impact research behind it, therefore we cannot say for certain that we are fully aware of every potential environmental impact in the future. Possible impacts which have been identified include: • construction impacts from the initial installation process • effects on the usage of recreational sites • coastal erosion, • sedimentary flow patterns, • navigation hazards and the disturbance of fish and marine biology.
