Wave Hub News - 09/Nov/2006
After 6 months of close discussion with SWRDA (South West Regional Development Agency), the BSA representing surfers who were concerned about the experimental wave energy hub off the South West Coast, have persuaded SWRDA to allow an independent peer review of their work.
World renowned oceanographer, Professor Kerry Black of ASR ltd. has been accepted by SWRDA to undertake the review and will be assessing all aspects of the proposed project, to ensure that there are no detrimental environmental effects and that all the concerns that have been raised are addressed.
The BSA is very happy that Professor Black is looking at the project, and looks forward to his findings. We hope and trust that if there are no ill effects found, that this will allay all our fears.

British Surfing Association - Wave Hub Statement
"We approve of the Wave Hub and the technology in principle, but remain fearful of near shore surface devices. Extensive farms we believe could have broader effects than we can envisage at this time. Putting devices in an active Coastal Environment could very well have far reaching and damaging effects that may be very difficult to reverse."

In recent years, the British Surfing Association has become increasingly aware of the pressing need to protect our surfing sites, many of which have been degraded by coastal engineering works. In some cases, we believe that more benign or even advantageous methods such as multi-purpose reefs, could have been used.

One problem we have is that unlike for example, the Ramblers Association, we have not managed to establish recognition or rights. Coastal engineering work can proceed without our organisation even becoming aware during a theoretic consultation process. >>Click here for the full story and how to enter<<
