Stakeholders' feedback on the FPV eco-design technical guide.

Type of stakeholder Feedback on the draft guide
FPV developers – The guide should be pragmatic, credible, and adaptable, with clear alignment between developers, consultants, and regulatory authorities.
– It should consider the need for early-stage guidance (e.g., sitting) and technical constraints (e.g., anchoring, topography, hydrology).
– It should include initial state and monitoring protocols, risk management tools, and feedback from operational sites.
Environmental consulting firms – The guide should propose standardized methodologies for initial state and impact monitoring, especially in hydrologically connected water bodies. Monitoring protocols should be operational and detailed (e.g., compartments, functional indicators, frequency).
– The guide should include case studies (positive and negative feedback).
– The guide should consider climate change and tools to assess the GHGs balance.
NGO – The guide should include pre-diagnostic tools, methodologies for initial state and impact monitoring covering the banks and the waterbodies (e.g bats activity).
– The guide may consider specific protocols for specific types of ecosystems (e.g., big reservoirs, small lakes, water treatment pond).
– The guide should integrate negative examples alongside best practices.
– The guide should propose tools to assess trade-offs between FPV development and ecological restoration.
State representatives and angling association – The guide should be based on scientific evidence and field experience (good and bad practices), with clear References
– The guide should include illustrated operational cards, and indicators for initial state assessment and monitoring.
– The guide should consider accidental risks (e.g., fire), invasive exotic species, pollution from degraded material and sanitary risks.
