对气候变化和能源安全的日益关注推动了近海和海洋可再生能源设施的快速发展。增加使用这些设备的潜在生态后果强调了高质量环境影响评估（EIA）的必要性。我们证明，这些过程受到严重阻碍，主要是因为立法不能确保影响和累积效应的重要性得到适当评估。我们强调为什么监管框架会导致概念上的模糊，并提出了在大多数情况下不需要对标准做法进行重大调整的修改。我们强调确定影响的置信度的重要性，以允许量化的可能性以及影响的大小，并提出方法，其中人口水平的影响评估可以纳入环境影响评估过程。然而，总的来说，我们认为，与其试图确定哪些特定的事态发展是导致已经严重退化的海洋环境陷入不良状态的原因，不如把重点放在更好的战略评估上。
Growing concerns about climate change and energy security have fuelled a rapid increase in the development of offshore and marine renewable energy installations (OMREIs). The potential ecological consequences of increased use of these devices emphasises the need for high quality environmental impact assessment (EIA). We demonstrate that these processes are hampered severely, primarily because legislation does not ensure that the significance of impacts and cumulative effects are properly assessed. We highlight why the regulatory framework leads to conceptual ambiguities and propose changes which, for the most part, do not require major adjustments to standard practice. We emphasise the importance of determining the degree of confidence in impacts to permit the likelihood as well as magnitude of impacts to be quantified and propose ways in which assessment of population-level impacts could be incorporated into the EIA process. Overall, however, we argue that, instead of trying to ascertain which particular developments are responsible for tipping an already heavily degraded marine environment into an undesirable state, emphasis should be placed on better strategic assessment.
