Acadia University has received $2.6M from Natural Resources Canada for a tidal energy research project. This three-year project will track fish in and near the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) tidal energy development area and use this information to develop fish movement models to better understand the likelihood of fish-turbine collision. Acadia President Dr Jeff Hennessy said that this research will help inform tidal energy regulators and industry. This project includes involvement with FORCE, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Ocean Tracking Network, researchers from Scotland, and scientists and students.
