早期考虑新兴潮汐产业面临的潜在社会问题对于促进公众参与和潜在避免其他可再生能源部门内出现的冲突程度非常重要;公众支持的一般表达（如全国范围的态度调查所报告的）并不总是转化为对地方发展的认可。这是一个非常有吸引力的想法，可以绘制不同类型社区对海洋能源开发的可能反应并用于支持规划。本研究探讨了963人在英格兰西南部的假设当地潮汐能项目的态度，分析结果的地理位置，并根据海洋管理组织为英格兰开发的沿海社区类型。除年龄外，人口变量对潮汐能的反对程度几乎没有影响，相反，更多的影响因素，如对潮汐能的态度一般（特别是其可能的环境影响），在海岸开展的活动，和地方附件。用于确定社区类型的全国人口普查数据通常不包括这些重要因素。根据人口变量绘制社区地图，对能源项目的可接受性作出任何预测，都不能取代彻底的公众参与和协商，公众参与和协商的重点应该是潮汐发展对环境的影响。
Early consideration of potential societal issues faced by the nascent tidal industry is important to facilitate public engagement and potentially avoid levels of conflict that have arisen within other renewable energy sectors; general expressions of public support (as reported in national-scale attitude surveys) do not always translate into approval for local developments. It is a very appealing idea that the likely response of different types of communities to marine energy developments can be mapped and used to support planning. This study examined the attitudes of 963 people in South West England to hypothetical local tidal energy projects, analysing the results both by geographic location and according to the coastal community typology developed for England by the Marine Management Organisation. With the exception of age, demographic variables had little influence on the level of opposition to tidal energy, which instead was affected more by factors such as attitudes towards tidal energy in general (in particular its likely environmental impact), activities undertaken at the coast, and place attachment. These significant factors are typically not captured by the national census data used to determine community types. Any predictions about the acceptability of energy projects made as a result of community mapping based on demographic variables will not be a substitute for thorough public engagement and consultation, which should centre on the implications of tidal developments for the environment.
