WGMRE - Report of the Working Group on Marine Renewable Energy

The first meeting of this new Working Group took place from 31 March to 3 April 2014. It was hosted by AZTI in Pasajes, Spain. There were 9 attendees, 6 from the United Kingdom and one from Ireland, Spain and Portugal respectively. For the Group to deliver advice that has impact, and is truly representative of the ICES com-munity, it will require representation from a larger number of ICES member coun-tries. Improved representation through communicating the work of the Group throughout the ICES community is needed. It is hoped that the first topic based Workshop will assist in this regard.
