Leask Marine is proud to continue its partnership with Morlais, a globally renowned tidal energy developer, in the deployment of the Marinus LiDAR buoy off the coast of Holyhead, Wales.

This advanced buoy, equipped with cutting-edge sonar, acoustic monitoring, and video technology, will play a crucial role in monitoring marine wildlife and environmental conditions around the Morlais tidal energy project.

Deployment of the Marinus buoy

The data collected by the Marinus buoy will provide valuable insights into the behaviour and movement of marine mammals and seabirds, enabling Morlais to update its Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan (EMMP). This commitment to environmental stewardship is essential for ensuring the sustainable development of tidal energy projects.

Leask Marine's expertise in marine operations and commitment to safety and efficiency have been instrumental in the successful deployment of the Marinus buoy.

Marinus buoy's current mission

They are excited to be part of this important initiative, which will not only benefit the Morlais project, but also contribute to the global understanding of the interactions between tidal energy installations and the marine environment.

The findings from the Marinus buoy's current mission will be shared with tidal energy projects worldwide, underscoring the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing in this growing industry. Leask Marine is committed to working with partners like Morlais to advance the development of sustainable and environmentally responsible tidal energy solutions.
