About

Cefas awarded a contract to SMRU Consulting for research to improve understanding of the potential risks of displacement of marine mammals from essential activities in relation to wave and tidal stream arrays, and to develop an agreed approach to assessing the potential effects and consequences of displacement.

The project involved reviewing current understanding of displacement, its causes and effects, species vulnerability, and appropriate buffer zones; reviewing and refining existing displacement assessment models for use in wave and tidal industries; and developing a displacement assessment framework suitable for wave and tidal developments, including methods to assess displacement from large scale arrays and cumulative developments.

The contract value was £18,000.
