The focus of this SEAGP meeting was on monitoring associated with tidal stream devices, for example monitoring to gather evidence on the behaviour of marine mammals around tidal stream turbines and their ability to detect and avoid devices. Members received a series of presentations from Morlais on the monitoring that will be undertaken at the test and demonstration zone off Anglesey, and from the Sea Mammal Research Unit based at St Andrews on the work it has been engaged with in this area, including the technologies available to monitor interactions between the marine environment and tidal stream turbines.

Following the presentations, the Group discussed the need and purpose of monitoring to ensure a common understand of the questions monitoring should be answering and the difference between post consent monitoring and wider research.
