Results of a survey undertaken in 2018 involving a range of open and closed questions intended to elicit local residents’ values they attach to the importance of coastal attributes and their perceptions of various tidal and wave energy development characteristics. Three case study sites were selected: Weston-super-Mare, Minehead, and the Taw-Torridge Estuary, South-West UK.

Provenance & quality

The survey was undertaken by a survey company commissioned by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML). The company obtained data through door-to-door surveys, inputting responses straight into custom-designed survey templates on a hand-held tablet platform. Data were subsequently collated in a password-protected excel spreadsheet and forwarded to the PML research team liaison point.
