In this online workshop, OES-Environmental presented in an interactive session the evidence base for habitat change effects due to marine renewable energy (MRE) deployments, and discussed the ability to retire risks of changes in habitat caused by MRE devices in consenting/permitting processes. The purpose of the workshop was to examine pathways for determining data needs, monitoring requirements, and possible mitigation measures for working towards risk retirement of changes in habitat for consenting/permitting small installations of tidal turbines and wave energy converters.
