Global Tidal Range

This map shows the patterns of tidal energy played out across the surface of the Earth as lines of force. The colors indicate where tides are strongest, with blues being weaker areas and reds being stronger. In almost a dozen places on this map the lines appear to converge, as if pulled together like a purse. Notice how at each of these places the surrounding color--the tidal force for that region--is blue. These convergent areas are called amphidromes, places where there is little or no apparent tide.        This is not to say that the surface of the ocean in these places doesn't move, doesn't rise and fall with wind, momentum, inertia, and other forces acting on it. But for the purposes of studying the tides from space in an effort to understand how energy is conserved and distributed, these areas a mathematically still.

Hafren power loses top brass

Blimey! It seems that heads have rolled (or rather that people have walked) from Hafren Power, leaving the barrage project without some key individuals. 

Wales Online reports in detail about the losses, which presumably are a further (final?) nail in the coffin of the project this time around (though the idea will presumably resurface in another 5-10 years).

Tidal range leases - consultation

The Crown Estate is up to its old tricks, beavering away and trying to support the marine energy sector any way it can. 

The latest contribution is their ears - they want to hear from you on their ideas for leasing out sites for tidal range development. We've posted the links on the LinkedIn group, but let us know if you can't access (perhaps you work in a public sector body that restricts that kind of helpful site) and we'll email it across or post here.
