What are the cumulative impacts of land-based renewable energy infrastructure
and activity on freshwater and ecosystems?

Background

Scotland has significant marine renewable energy resources and capacity potential, including
offshore wind, wave, and tidal energy. The responsible development of these resources is
essential for meeting Scotland's climate targets, supporting economic growth, and delivering
the Blue Economy Vision. Research is needed to support the sustainable growth of marine
renewable energy while minimising environmental impacts and maximising benefits for
Scotland's communities and economy.
