              increased from zero to 400. It is found that arrays in excess of
              85 turbines have the potential to affect bed shear stress
              distributions in such a way that the most favourable sites for
              sediment accumulation migrate from the edges of the Inner Sound
              towards its centre. Deposits of fine gravel and coarse sand are
              indicated to occur within arrays of greater than 240 turbines

              margins also possible. The effects of the turbine array may be
              seen several kilometres from the site which has implications not
              only on sediment accumulation, but also on the benthic fauna.",
