The deployment of offshore and marine renewables has sparked a wide range research studies on how they might impact marine processes and life in coastal seas. However, the natural environment and organisms within it can also have impacts on the engineered structures and power take-off potential. These impacts can derive from a wide variety of means ranging from reduced efficiency of moving parts by fouling, through to large animals colliding with and potentially damaging components. Engineering and ecological interactions will also drive the constraints in the level of resource (wind, waves or tidal-streams) available for exploitation. As the renewables sector moves from proof of concepts to site specific realities, then these physical and biological processes will become ever more important. This workshop will bring together engineers, physicists, environmental scientists, developers and regulators to develop mutual understandings of these interactions and explore ways to mitigate challenges and optimise opportunities in this emerging and potentially rewarding topic area.
