Frequently Asked Question 2: Is it a barrage?
Answer: We don't think so.
A barrage used as a total containment of the estuary from the line Annan to Bowness would be detrimental and not acceptable. There is a tendency to use the word 'barrage' in a generic way thus confusing and distracting everybody from finding a renewable energy solution based on the harnessing of the tides.

The ultimate solution is most likely to be a partial barrage or fence or reef - commonly called low-head devices, or devices that sit in the tidal stream.

All of this will be brought out in the technical feasibility stage.
