A new report from the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) calls for coordinated regulatory reform to unlock Scotland’s tidal energy potential while addressing environmental concerns over harbour seals.
According to EMEC, the new report published today, May 13, Managing the Consenting Risk of Harbour Seal Collision in the Scottish Tidal Energy Industry , outlines key recommendations for adopting a science-led and proportionate approach to the consenting process, aimed at unlocking the full potential of tidal stream energy through responsible, scaled deployment.
