  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">In order to accurately assess the potential of a particular location to provide a dependable and
sustainable marine energy resource, it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of the site in terms of
seabed morphology and local tidal flow regime. Prior to the undertaking of this particular measurement
campaign, the former aspect was obtained by the Client from data provided by a recent bathymetric
survey. This enabled the most suitable sites to be identified for the study of the tidal flow aspect.
Wallingford Environmental Surveys Ltd (WES Ltd) was therefore commissioned in July 2008 to
measure the tidal currents at three specified fixed (static) locations for a period of 30 days. Vesselborne
(dynamic) current measurements were also undertaken throughout the area of interest to augment
the data from the static devices to enable mapping of the spatial variation of the tidal flow by
extrapolation.</dc:description>
