The proposals include creating large areas of saltmarsh, seagrass and kelp, new oyster beds and the removal of barriers in rivers.<br \/>\nNew natural habitat is a better solution than an acoustic fish deterrent which would use 280 speakers to make noise louder than a jumbo jet 24-hours a day for 60 years. The system's impact on porpoises, seals, whales, and other species is unknown. It offers a very small potential benefit to protected fish species and would also risk the safety of divers in the fast-flowing tides of the Bristol Channel. <br \/>\nPower stations have been taking cooling water from the Bristol Channel for decades with no significant impact on fish populations. Hinkley Point C will be the first power station in the area to have any fish protection measures in place \u2013 including a fish recovery and return system. <br \/>\nDespite scientific evidence that the remaining impact on fish is \u2018very small\u2019, the project supports further effective, proportionate, and practical compensation measures.<br \/>\nResolution of this issue matters. The project is one of Britain\u2019s biggest acts for the environment, built to meet exacting environmental standards. It will make a major contribution to energy security and the fight against climate change.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n EDF background information: <br \/>\nThe Bristol Channel has the third highest tidal range in the world, with fast flowing water and poor visibility. Engineering studies have shown that installing and maintaining the Acoustic Fish Deterrent poses risks to offshore teams which are unacceptable considering the small and uncertain potential benefit. <br \/>\nHinkley Point C\u2019s data is based on decades of real data from operating Hinkley Point B and scientific research from the Government marine experts CEFAS. <br \/>\nFish populations are subject to a range of pressures including commercial fishing. They are also eaten by other fish, birds, porpoises, and seals. Natural mortality can be up to 60% for shoaling species. What is an issue here is the potential impact on protected species. <br \/>\nThe total amount of all fish estimated to be killed without the Acoustic Fish Deterrent has been predicted by CEFAS, the government\u2019s marine experts, to be in the range of 18 to 46 tonnes in a year \u2013 less than the annual catch of one small fishing vessel.<br \/>\nAcoustic fish deterrents have been used by one other power station in the UK which features close to shore intake structures. The technology has not been tested on offshore intakes networks which stretch further out to sea, such as Hinkley Point C\u2019s. <br \/>\nIt was proposed that 288 speakers would make sound at 160db non-stop during the operation of the power station.  Noise above 100db is considered \"highly hazardous\" for humans.<br \/>\nHinkley Point C\u2019s water intake system includes a fish recovery and return system and low velocity, side entry water intake heads which reduce the risk of fish entering the pipes. <br \/>\nMore information can be found here: Fish protection measures | Hinkley Point C | EDF (edfenergy.com) <br \/>\nResponses to the initial consultation are now being considered by HPC before proposals are anticipated to be submitted in Spring 2025. A final determination will be made by the Secretary of State for DESNZ.<\/span><a href=\"#\" class=\"ayg-player-description-toggle-btn\">[+] Show More<\/a><\/div>\n            <\/div>           \n<\/div>            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"ayg-item ayg-item-xNSMCfLHx2Q ayg-col ayg-col-3\">\n                \n<div class=\"ayg-thumbnail\" data-id=\"xNSMCfLHx2Q\" data-title=\"How to become a crofter - Blind bull makes impact!\" data-url=\"\">\n    <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-image-wrapper\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/xNSMCfLHx2Q\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"ayg-thumbnail-image\" alt=\"How to become a crofter - Blind bull makes impact!\" \/>\n\n        <svg class=\"ayg-icon ayg-thumbnail-icon-play\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"#fff\">\n            <path d=\"M16 0c-8.837 0-16 7.163-16 16s7.163 16 16 16 16-7.163 16-16-7.163-16-16-16zM16 29c-7.18 0-13-5.82-13-13s5.82-13 13-13 13 5.82 13 13-5.82 13-13 13zM12 9l12 7-12 7z\"><\/path>\n        <\/svg>\n\n        <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-active\" style=\"display: none;\">active<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-caption\">\n         \n            <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-title\">How to become a crofter - Blind bull makes impact!<\/div>\n         \n\n                    <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-excerpt\">Crofter Niall Rowantree has a blind Shetland bull...although all the ...<\/div>\n        \n          \n            <div class=\"ayg-thumbnail-description\" style=\"display: none;\"><span class=\"ayg-player-description-less\">Crofter Niall Rowantree has a blind Shetland bull...although all the important bits work!!!!
