Tidal stream power has the potential to deliver 11% of the UK's current annual electricity and play a significant role in the government's drive for net-zero, according to new research. ....

The researchers investigated how terns respond to turbulent tidal flows caused by natural coastal features and man-made structures. The scientists used drones to experience what the terns see and how their behavior changes depending on the movement of tidal flows beneath them. The study was focused on a turbulent tidal channel, Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland, which is known to be a foraging hotspot for terns. The experts found that the terns were more likely to actively forage over swirling patches of water, or vortices. However, eruptions of upwelling water ahead of the terns’ flight path prompted them to stay on course as they approached. ....
