WEC-ERA Tool
Ecological Risk Assessment tool for Wave Energy Converters
This is a open access tool for managers, decision makers and industry when assessing the suitability of Wave Energy Converters projects, in terms of the potential impacts that they can cause. The tool is based on the Ecosystem Risk Assessment of three different Wave Energy Converters technologies during their life-cycle stages (from installation to operation and decommissioning).

WESE project presents video footages of the Seafloor Integrity monitoring. The videos were recorded close to the WaveRoller foundation and flap, the electrical cable and metallic/synthetic moorings in Peniche, Portugal. Observe natural habitats (sandy bottom, rocky bottom, reefs), several marine organisms (fish, algae, invertebrates), and biofouling growing on the artificial structures.
