FLOWBEC aims at measuring FLOW, Water Column and Benthic ECology in 4 dimensions to assess the potential effects of Marine Renewable Energy Devices (MREDs) on the environment. It addresses clear knowledge gaps identified by NERC, DEFRA and UKERC in the effects of MREDs on flow conditions, habitats and ecological interactions. It will use a wealth of observation techniques above and under water, ranging from radar to sonar and in situ measurements, to be deployed over 2 years at 3 key sites around the UK. These measurements will feed into models of ecological interactions and habitat preferences, allowing predictions of the multiple effects of large MRED arrays.Being fully cross-disciplinary, this project will engage different academic beneficiaries at each stage. Researchers in the field of instrument design (in the laboratory and at sea) will benefit from our experience in building the different systems and adapting them to long-term deployments on the seabed, in extremely challenging environments. This will be done by carefully planned Knowledge Exchange activities and open-access publication of our results, as well as exchange of personnel. The avenues opened for continuous imaging of complex and dynamic 3-D structures will be useful to researchers in other fields associated with ecological systems and marine structures, but also in medical 4-D imaging.

FLOWBEC旨在从4个维度测量流量、水柱和底栖生态学，以评估海洋可再生能源设备（MRED）对环境的潜在影响。它解决了NERC，DEFRA和UKERC在MREDs对水流条件，栖息地和生态相互作用的影响方面确定的明确知识差距。它将使用丰富的水上和水下观测技术，从雷达到声纳和现场测量，将在英国周围的3个关键地点部署2年。这些测量结果将输入到生态相互作用和栖息地偏好的模型中，从而预测大型MRED阵列的多重影响。该项目完全跨学科，每个阶段都将吸引不同的学术受益者。仪器设计领域（实验室和海上）的研究人员将受益于我们在构建不同系统并使其适应在极具挑战性的环境中在海底长期部署的经验。这将通过精心策划的知识交流活动和开放获取我们的成果以及人员交流来实现。为复杂和动态三维结构的连续成像开辟的途径将对与生态系统和海洋结构相关的其他领域的研究人员有用，但也适用于医学4-D成像。
