Abstract
This report is a deliverable of the Powerkite project, a Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Union’s research and innovation programme. The Powerkite’s project main objective was to design, build and deploy a power take-off (PTO) system for the novel tidal energy concept Deep Green referred to in this document as the ‘kite’ and as part of Work Package (WP) 6, gaining a better understanding of the potential environmental interactions of the device.
The environmental impact report D6.2 is the final report for WP 6 Environmental Impacts and describes the results of the environmental data collected as part of WP 2 detailed in deliverable D2.10, during the project. This report provides details on the noise measurements, the Collision Risk Model (CRM), the development of the sonar system to visualise animal movement as well as the benthic surveys.
