Ms Helen Gelletlie:

We got involved because we saw what was happening with regard to offshore wind. We have not examined the impact of other ocean energy generation as we would not have the resources to do so. We are aware of it and, on the surface it, it sounds like a very good idea. If it is appropriately assessed and sited it will be a wonderful idea, as would wind energy provision, if appropriately assessed and sited. It should not be permitted in the manner which it has been up to now, with no strategic plan for its use.
