In their role as a Coastal Protection Authority Scarborough Borough Council has a keen interest in the opportunity to build renewable energy sources into new Sea Defences.

With the financial support of Yorkshire Forward Scarborough Borough Council have commissioned a study to identify the technical and economic feasibility of integrating Oscillating Wave Column (OWC) technology into coastal defence works for the piers at Whitby Harbour.
