Chapter 16 : Information Communication and Energy

Please select the amendment number on which you are commenting.: 

We note the Plan supports the construction of offshore windfarms.  In the event that offshore energy installations (including offshore windfarms, tidal and wave generators) are proposed, the evaluation and consideration of potential impacts on any commercial sea-fishing activities needs to be given consideration.  Commercial sea fishing is a long standing, pre-existing and traditional activity in the marine environment.  It is essential that any negative impacts of fisheries are avoided.  The evaluation of potential impacts on any commercial sea fishing activities needs to be given consideration as part of any planning/proposal process and during the development process itself.  It is imperative that engagement should be sought with the fishing industry and other relevant stakeholders at as early a stage as possible to discuss any changes that may affect them to afford a chance for their input.  Fishers' interests and livelihoods must be fully recognised, supported and taken into account.
