Impacts on the Environment & Ecosystems
Understanding thoroughly the impact that MRE devices have on the Environment and the ecosystems is of special relevance in order to ensure the sustainability of MRE. Within this wide field, PRIMaRE partners have developed expertise on the application and development of the following research areas:
- Acoustic monitoring
- Displacements, barriers to motions and migrations
- Effects on the trophic chain
- Electrical & magnetic fields
- Entanglement & entrapment
- Introduction of non-native invasive species
- Marine mammals modelling
- Morphodynamic & coastal morphology
- Reef effect
- Scouring
