Areas of Identified Tidal Stream Resource defining boundary of policy TIDE1 in the East Inshore and East Offshore marine plans

asNeeded

Please note that the following limitations apply to this dataset: The results of the study are theoretical estimates potential tidal energy resources that could be developed in the East Inshore and East Offshore plan areas. The thresholds used to define areas are based on industry estimates. It is important to understand that the areas identified did not take into account existing sea uses, sensitivities or environmental factors which are likely to constrain deployments to smaller areas of seabed in practice. This is not because such factors are unimportant, but since at the industry's present stage of development, it is difficult to quantify these constraints. This data should be considered alongside policy TIDE1 in the Draft marine plan for the East Inshore and East Offshore plan areas.
