WindAction | Wind turbines thought to be leading cause of erosion
The South East Coastal Protection Alliance raised serious concerns over the rapid rate of erosion taking place at Brittas Bay beach during a presentation made to Wicklow Municipal District, citing the believed effect of wind turbines on tidal flows as a leading cause. Mick Higgins and William Hourie both addressed Monday’s meeting, stating that the targeted erosion along the south end of the beach would appear to indicate a major change in tidal flow.
