UK’s Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is nearing the conclusion of a review of all dredging disposal sites in England. The MMO commissioned Cefas to undertake a high level, review of all disposal sites around the country. This review is a desk-based review focusing on marine disposal sites in En
Work is currently underway to use a new hydrodynamic model, called the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM) to model the effect of tidal turbines on the physical marine environment. So far, the model has been used to provide tidal and wave energy resource maps around Orkney, and to study the connectivity of f
DOF Subsea Norway has been awarded a contract by Statens vegvesen (The Norwegian Public Roads Administration) for a seabed mapping survey along the bridge route over the Bjørnafjord crossing. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration plans to construct an approximately 5km long bridge over Bjørnafjo
