Collision risk to fish from tidal turbines: next steps towards understanding and retiring risk

OES-Environmental and ORJIP Ocean Energy held a two-part online workshop on Tuesday 16th and Thursday 18th March, 2021 from 07:30 to 10:30 PT (14:30 to 17:30 GMT) on collision risk to marine animals from tidal turbines: next steps towards understanding and retiring risk. The purpose of the workshops is to bring together experts and marine energy practitioners for a structured discussion on the state of knowledge of the processes of avoidance, evasion, and collision. This workshop was focused on fish. To view the event on marine mammals, click here.
