A new framework and tool for ecological risk assessment of wave energy converters projects
WEC-ERA tool is a free-access web tool (https://aztidata.es/wec-era/) for the interactive assessment and visualisation of the pressures and ecological risks of three technologies (oscillating water columns, oscillating wave surge converters, and wave turbines) during their life cycle.
The tool is intended to be used by managers, decision makers, scientists or promoters during the Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment of wave energy projects.
Further details on the tool are available in this scientific paper published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews:
