This proposal has been designed to fill urgent scientific gaps in relation to baseline studies in renewable energy test sites and to take advantage of the unique opportunity presented by the development of the Wave Hub demonstrator site. While this proposal will benefit from the simultaneous characterisation of other ecosystem components by PRIMaRE scientists, we will complement current efforts by obtaining research quality data for the oceanographic characteristics of the site. It is essential to obtain this information prior to deployment of infrastructure if we are to understand the impact of arrays of wave devices together with the Wave Hub infrastructure. This opportunity has already been lost at other wave energy device testing sites (such as at EMEC, Orkney), because devices, together with infrastructure such as moorings and cabling have already been installed. We will deploy multidisciplanry field teams in time to obtain high quality, spatially resolved field data ahead of the Wave Hub construction. For this, we have therefore suggested a modest budget to ensure that this information is collected from August 2010 to August 2011. Our approach will be to obtain: (i) Detailed oceanographic study at the Wave Hub site and surrounds - covering the whole range of physical, chemical and biological parameters before the deployment of Wave Hub infrastructure and wave energy devices. (ii) Ensure data acquisition in time and space to allow development of physical and ecosystem models at scales relevant to wave arrays. Ultimately models will allow us to make predictive assessments of the extent, timescales and intensity of ecosystem impacts and perturbation resulting from implementation of wave energy arrays. (iii) Engagement of environmental economists to ensure these same data can be used to develop economic valuation estimates of critical life supporting ecosystem services at scales appropriate to arrays of wave devices for comparison with other uses of marine space. This proposal is also driven by the need to expand the science capability and resources over the next five years to address the questions which have arisen directly in respect of marine renewable energy development and sustainable use of marine resources. Hence, many of the activities are also viewed as capacity building and skill development within PML-PRIMaRE that are pivotal to address the scientific requirements of the renewable energy sector.

该提案旨在填补与可再生能源试验场基线研究有关的紧迫科学空白，并利用开发Wave Hub示范场所提供的独特机会。虽然该提案将受益于PRIMARE科学家对其他生态系统组成部分的同时表征，但我们将通过获取该地点海洋学特征的研究质量数据来补充当前的努力。如果我们要了解Wave设备阵列和Wave Hub基础设施的影响，在部署基础设施之前获得这些信息是至关重要的。在其他波浪能设备测试地点（例如在奥克尼的EMEC），已经失去了这个机会，因为设备以及诸如系泊和电缆之类的基础设施已经安装。我们将在Wave Hub建设之前及时部署多通道规划现场团队，以获得高质量的空间分辨率现场数据。为此，我们建议适当的预算，以确保在2010年8月至2011年8月期间收集这些信息。我们的方法是：（i）在部署Wave Hub基础设施和波浪能设备之前，对Wave Hub场地和周围环境进行详细的海洋学研究，涵盖整个物理、化学和生物参数。(ii)确保在时间和空间上获得数据，以便能够在与波阵相关的尺度上开发物理和生态系统模型。最终，模型将使我们能够对实施波浪能阵列所产生的生态系统影响和扰动的程度、时间尺度和强度进行预测性评估。(iii)环境经济学家的参与，以确保这些相同的数据可用于制定关键生命支持生态系统服务的经济估值估计，其规模适合波浪装置阵列，以与海洋空间的其他用途进行比较。提出这一建议的另一个原因是，需要在今后五年内扩大科学能力和资源，以解决在海洋可再生能源开发和海洋资源可持续利用方面直接出现的问题。因此，许多活动也被视为PML-PRIMARE内的能力建设和技能发展，对于满足可再生能源部门的科学要求至关重要。
