Marine Renewable Energy Technology and Environmental Interactions 87 fudispensable for the planning of FACR fudispensable for the planning of the summer school was the support of the Director of the Ettore Majorana Centre This volume introduces some of the more promising methods and techniques used for the verification and validation (V&V) of neural networks and adaptive systems Our understanding of environmental impacts and suitable mitigation methods associated with extracting renewable energy from the marine environment is improving all the time and it is essential that we be able to distinguish between natural and anthropocentric drivers and impacts in particular renewable energy from tidal currents
