MaREI researchers contribute to OES-Environmental 2024 State of the Science Report

OES Environmental recently released the 2024 State of the Science Report: Environmental Effects of Marine Renewable Energy Development Around the World at the International Conference on Ocean Energy in Melbourne, Australia!

The 2024 State of the Science Report, available on Tethys, brings together the most up-to-date information on potential environmental effects of marine renewable energy; shares helpful resources, such as education and outreach tools, strategies to aid consenting, and data information systems; and identifies a path forward. The Ocean Energy Systems (OES)-Environmental country representatives from the 16 participating countries, including Dr. Anne Marie O’Hagan and Dr. Emma Verling from MaREI at University College Cork, helped to scope the entirety of the report and provided valuable contributions to all chapters. The input from these contributors and reviewers has resulted in the most complete compendium of research and monitoring findings possible.
