Impacts of Wave Energy
Visual Impact - Depending on where the conversion facility is placed the visual impact can range from high impact close to the shoreline to a much smaller impact when the facility is placed further from the shoreline.
Hydrodynamics - effects on wave climates due to conversion facilities may lead to changes in the shore and shallow sub-tidal areas, and subsequently the plants and animals living in the area.

shore and to the grid. Some wave energy devices may affect the natural flow of sand and other beach sediment and so would require sensitive siting but the installations could also potentially benefit the environment by creating safe havens for fish and helping to reduce coastal erosion. As with most renewable energy sources, wave devices have no emissions during generation but the energy associated with the construction of the device does have small associated emissions.
