17. For some tidal technologies, the potential effects specific to an individual technology may be less well known due, in part, to technologies still being in development. Whilst they may provide solutions for development within draft plan options, any potential impacts for commercial scale deployment may not have been fully ascertained through approved research. In these instances professional judgement has been used to consider whether the effects of similar technologies would also be applicable.
