The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has organized a workshop on marine renewable energy that will be held in Norway.
The workshop, to be held by the ICES Working Group on Marine Renewable Energy, will address the development of marine renewable energy (MRE) approaches to assessing environmental impacts and their application in planning, consenting and regulatory processes, the organizer said.
The technologies up for discussion include tidal, with both in-stream and tidal lagoon/barrage types, wave and offshore wind.
The workshop will be held in Runde from April 16-18, 2018.
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is a global organization that coordinates and promotes marine research on oceanography, the marine environment and ecosystems, and living marine resources in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas.
The remit of ICES’ Working Group on Marine Renewable Energy includes correlating the science from topic-based groups such as those on seabirds, benthic ecology, fish ecology and its application in planning, consenting and regulatory processes in relation to tidal, wave and offshore wind energy.
