Title: Social acceptance of marine energy: challenges and opportunities
Abstract: One of the key issues for the implementation of marine energy is public support and opposition. Offshore energy projects have already met with vocal, strong, organised public opposition – which has been effective – and it is vital that this pressing issue is addressed and understood. This presentation gives an overview of the latest academic research being carried out from across the world on social acceptance issues. It provides examples of success stories and best practices and presents scenarios for successful siting for the future.
