- W2068214371 abstract "Abstract The Nature Conservancy Council has carried out appraisals for the Department of Energy of environmental implications of siting full-scale floating or seabed-mounted wave energy converters off the west coast of the Outer Hebrides and full-scale floating devices off the Moray Firth. Converters would have a variety of effects on the hydraulic environment, most noticeably by modifying the local wave climate. A decrease in incident wave energy would influence shores and shallow subtidal areas and result in changes in the density and species of organisms they support. Extensive shell-sand beaches occur along the west coast of the Uists but although wave activity and wave steepness would be reduced, accretion on these beaches might be limited by the availability of sediment. Fixed converters off the Hebrides would have more pronounced environmental impacts than offshore floating devices, mainly through their greater sheltering effect, the possibly stronger tidal flows generated between devices and shores, and the need to site fixed converters in the kelp zone. Devices would represent a new habitat for colonisation by attached algae and invertebrates and would probably attract fish, seabirds and seals. Seabed-mounted devices, once no longer operational, would become artificial reefs if left in place. Device noise might affect communication and navigation systems of fish and marine mammals. The navigational hazard to shipping posed by converters would be likely to increase the risk of severe oil pollution incidents in areas that are populated by internationally important numbers of seabirds. Other impacts would arise from the construction and maintenance of devices, an increased demand for building aggregate, the likelihood of intertidal flats being reclaimed, and conversion and transmission of energy, and the general associated developments and industrialisation that would ensue. It is concluded that although wave energy conversion harnesses a renewable source of energy it is not necessarily environmentally benign. Nevertheless, no environmental questions have been raised which would necessarily rule out further consideration of this energy source." @default.
