Abstract
This poster presentation covered the uncertainty about effects of marine renewable energy (MRE) and how this continues to slow consenting/permitting processes. Another argument presented was that sharing the considerable body of information on MRE environmental effects can facilitate decision-making and regulatory processes. Ocean Energy Systems (OES)-Environmental, an international initiative, focuses on collaboration and knowledge sharing to progress MRE in a responsible manner. This poster was presented at the PAMEC conference of 2024 in Barranquilla, Columbia.
