Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to reduce uncertainties related to assessing the risk of interactions/collision between fish and tidal stream energy devices deployed in the Minas Passage.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Assess the likelihood of fish interactions/collision with tidal stream energy devices in the Minas Passage.
- Strengthen Canada’s workforce by providing opportunities for scientists and trainees to develop new technical skills.
- Provide knowledge that reduces uncertainty and informs risk assessments of operational tidal stream energy devices effects on fish.
