After the last meeting of the Monitoring Committee held at Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region's headquarters, the members visited the Blue GIFT project, an investment in tidal energy supported by the Interreg Atlantic Area on the European cycle 2014-2020.
In the French territory, the cooperation project ensured a tidal test site in the heart of the city of Bordeaux, downstream from the Pierre de Pierre bridge operated by SEENEOH.
The site is located in the Garonne, 100 kilometres away from the mouth of the Gironde estuary. It is exposed to major currents influenced by the diurnal tidal cycle of the Bay of Biscay and by the flow of freshwater rivers from the Garonne and Pyrenees catchment area.
