Note(s)A review of marine renewable energy (MRE) projects, highlighting the inherent conflicts between development and the receiving community, and the role of forward planning in the potential for marine spatial planning (MSP) to facilitate shared resolution. It shows that underestimating issues of public acceptance impedes the process of public engagement and inevitably leads to public distrust and opposition.
