About
This study is to determine new measurement parameters for a quantitative value of wave action impacting along coastlines with specific regards to establishing the impact of reduced wave energy from wave energy converter arrays. This research has also allowed reduction in costs associated with current instrumentation and environmental information gathering. Comparisons between biological communities corresponding to the EUNIS biotope classification system (underpinning NATURA 2000 Special Areas of Conservation) and data acquired from the deployment of a new device has so far found current classifications, used in 'Exposure Scales', unsuitable for determining impacts of wave action reduction.
