- Abstract
- The Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework (MRESF) project has investigated the potential marine renewable energy tidal and wave resource of Welsh waters and considered potential scenarios for the sustainable development of that resource primarily as an aid to policy development and also an indicator of resource for potential developers. The Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework (MRESF) examined the potential constraints imposed on wave and tidal energy developments. Data included, among other constraints, shipping and related activities (anchoring, pilot boarding, harbours, etc); seascape sensitivity; national parks and heritage areas; wrecks; submarine cables; existing energy developments; fisheries and fish spawning areas; military practice areas; diving birds, cetaceans; seals; conservation designations; and dredging routes. Some constraint categories were divided into multiple layers, such as different shipping intensities, different fish values, or cetacean or seal vulnerability. A complete list of the constraints is presented in RPS (2011). The constraints on tidal or wave energy developments were ranked according to the likelihood that they would impede consent being given for a development. Each polygon feature part contains data on the constraints at each level within that area.
