Dear Colleagues,



We would like to announce the recent publication:



Sparling C, Smith K, Benjamins S, Wilson B, Gordon J, Stringell T, Morris C, 
Hastie G, Thompson D & Pomeroy P 2015: Guidance to inform marine mammal site 
characterisation requirements at wave and tidal stream energy sites in Wales 
NRW Evidence Report Series Report No: 82, 87pp, Natural Resources Wales, Bangor.



Natural Resources Wales working with SMRU Consulting, Sea Mammal Research Unit 
and the Scottish Association of Marine Sciences have recently published a new 
set of guidance on marine mammal surveying requirements at wave and tidal 
stream energy sites in Wales. This report now provides a framework for 
assessing risk to marine mammals from wave and tidal stream developments and 
provides guidance on how to tailor surveys to provide better information for  
impact assessments.



The report can be downloaded free here:
