Marine energy and mining resources

Maritime safety and security

Enhanced performance of methods of surveillance and safeguarding lives and assets at sea improves safety and security for the whole maritime environment. ...
Shipbuilding and leisure boatbuilding

The shipbuilding industry is investing in research into clean technologies for economic development, improved safety and respect of the environment.
Marine energy and mining resources

Wind, wave and tide : the natural assets of the Freanch coastline offer significant marine energy potential.
Marine biological resources

Fishing and aquaculture provide an opportunity to develop a sound economic activity underpinned by deeper knowledge and understanding of biological resources.
Environmental and coastal planning and development

The littoral is an ecologically rich and fragile space, and one which is highly prized. Its management is complex and requires a balanced and integrated approach to development.
Maritime ports, infrastructure and transport

Maintaining their identity while integrating into the human and geographical environment, port cities are genuine laboratories of sustainable development within densely populated urban regions.

The GHYDRO project involves producing a methodological guide to studying the environmental impact of offshore wind-turbine technologies.

The object of GHYDRO is to promote the positive integration of offshore wind farm projects into the environment. Little feedback is yet currently available on the potential environmental effects of these. This methodological guide will offer recommendations on describing the original state, methods for identifying and analysing potential environmental changes and a description of the programme of environmental monitoring. The guide will principally deal with impact on the marine environment and taking usage into account.

The environmental monitoring protocol put in place by GHYDRO will guide developers and consultants in environmental baseline and impact studies and also in ensuring surveillance of wind-turbine test sites.
