Marine renewables are set to benefit from sound advice as scientists at Xi Engineering Consultants have pioneered technology that predicts the impact that marine renewable projects have on fish and sea mammals.

The Scottish-based company believes its ground-breaking acoustic modelling expertise will provide the most authoritative analysis available to help assess the effect that off-shore wind farms or wave and tidal power arrays have on marine life.

It’s now predicted to have major benefits for developers of marine renewables projects as key information from modelling studies will bolster environmental impact assessments, allowing licensing authorities to move quicker to granting consents.

The story was picked up by Edinburgh Evening News with a readership of 32,000.
