1 Monitoring Marine Habitats of West Mainland Orkney: will Wave Energy Extraction contribute to long-term change? Andrew Want Research Associate ICIT Heriot-Watt University
2 Monitoring Marine Habitats of West Mainland Orkney SuperGen II (Workstream 10) Ecological Consequences of Tidal and Wave Energy Conversion Researching littoral and sublittoral communities at exposed shorelines of Orkney since July 2009 Does removing energy by deploying Wave Energy Converting devices produce observable changes to the rocky shore ecosystem?
3 Sampling Sites: A. Northside, Birsay; B: Marwick Bay; C: Nebo Geo, Sandwick; D: Hole o Row, Skaill Bay; E: Billia Croo; F: The Ouse, Finstown; G: Weyland Bay; H: Bay of Sandoyne, Holm; I: Sandside Bay, Deerness;

5 Monitoring Marine Habitats of West Mainland Orkney Ecological Consequences of deploying wave energy converters may include: Direct physical impacts during construction, operation, decommissioning, etc Hydrodynamic changes to sedimentation, turbidity etc Potential changes to zonation and population dynamics due to reduced energy downstream (especially nonlinear effects) Wello Penguin en route to Hoy Pelamis off Hoy
6 Monitoring Marine Habitats of West Mainland Orkney We have established a monitoring regime to determine biological changes on rocky shores due to: Removal of energy by wave energy converters Long-term climatic change Local seasonal variations Random noise
