November 1st 2007 SOAS, London
Environmental impact assessment, SEA, monitoring and research studies into activities using the marine environment are now normal practice. However, the information gained from this work is collected at considerable cost. The better regulation and adaptive management agendas suggest that this information should be being used to refine regulation.
The aim of the conference is to assess our current understanding of the environmental impact and benefits of offshore wind to pose the question of whether EIA, SEA and monitoring practice can be revised in the light of existing knowledge.
Objectives:
- To consider the environmental impacts and benefits with regard to offshore wind and exactly what the status of our knowledge is on these
- To consider the results from environmental management, (e.g. EIA & monitoring) and research, from UK and Europe to understand how this being integrated and informing EIA, SEA and monitoring regimes
- To draw lessons from the day to derive benefit for developers, regulators, the environment and society
