Using the findings of the Background Report together with input from the Stakeholder Roundtable and the public, and ideas brought forward through the Participation Support funding process, OEER has made 29 recommendations to guide a strategic approach to the development of marine renewable en- ergy in the Bay of Fundy. [...] The Province informed OEER that: The objective of the SEA is to assess social, economic and environmental effects and factors associated with potential development of renewable energy resources in the Bay of Fundy with an emphasis on in-stream tidal. [...] Objectives of the Fundy Tidal SEA The mandate of the Fundy Tidal Energy SEA was to address a range of marine renewable energy technologies (wind, wave and tidal), however the Province specified that the main focus should be on a tidal in-stream energy converters (TISEC), also known as tidal in-stream turbines. [...] The scope and scale of the cost of making a transition to lower emissions and greater sustainability are difficult to estimate due to many unknowns, such as: • the future cost of each energy source; • technological breakthroughs; • the level of efficiency and conservation achieved; and • future caps on emissions. [...] Fundy Tidal Energy SEA Final Report CHAPTER THREE MARINE RENEWABLE ENERgY TECHNOLOgIES ANd THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT The Background Report describes the full range of marine renewable energy technologies, and the current environment, and analyses the potential ways in which the two would interact.
