Seabed and coastline management
As the manager of the seabed and much of the coastline around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, TCE plays a key role in enabling green energy, driving economic growth and jobs, and creating and protecting thriving biodiversity and marine environments. This includes development of the UK’s world-leading offshore wind industry, supporting the target to supply all the UK’s electricity from renewable sources by 2035.
With many competing demands for seabed space, including ports, shipping, cables, pipelines, CO2 storage, and renewable energy sources, TCE drives a co-ordinated approach to its management with its Whole of Seabed Programme, which sees a careful balance between protecting the marine environment and the rich biodiversity of the seas, whilst also helping facilitate the growth of sustainable industry sectors and the economies of local communities.
To meet these challenges, TCE is utilising digital solutions (RIO), and an innovative data science led approach.
