This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

… The purpose of this report is to provide a review of the bird and marine mammal observation data for the EMEC Fall of Warness tidal test site from 2005 to 2011. The aims … and environmental variables. This report can assist in understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of wildlife at the test site, and specifically enable identification of where and …

… containing ephemeral flow structures that change across multiple spatiotemporal scales. Marine mammals and seabirds (marine megafauna) often frequent such sites but increasingly these locations are targeted for … tidal phases, current strengths and flow structures, likely in response to tidally-forced prey distribution and behaviours. Occupancy patterns, distributions and foraging behaviours are …

… a programme of Mapping of Environmental Considerations to support the spatial approach to marine planning. The aim of the work is to compile and present environmental evidence to support … in exploring potential future opportunities for sustainable use and management of the Welsh marine area. The objective of this initial phase of work was to produce maps of environmental … score, and potential impact score. To date, this work has brought together evidence on the distribution of around 170 habitats, species, and protected sites in Welsh waters. The evidence …

… There is a regulatory need to understand the potential for marine renewable energy developments to significantly impact the marine environment and a site’s integrity. To increase certainty, it is necessary to identify whether marine renewable energy devices have any impact on the abundance and distribution on wildlife in the vicinity. The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), in Orkney, …

… Environments in Welsh waters ’ 1 , suggested merit in gathering strategic evidence for key marine features (marine mammals, birds and fish) to support the tidal stream sector. In response, … Strategic evidence in this case is defined as information on the presence, abundance, distribution, and also behaviour of the animals in and around tidal energy resource areas (RAs). … it is not recommended to carry out eDNA studies on their own, combining the work with marine mammal and or seabird surveys could be cost-effective. The next steps from this project would be …

… seconds). There is now global recognition of the importance of tidal stream environments for marine megafauna. Such areas are also key to the development of marine renewable energy due to the reliable and predictable nature of tidally driven flows. … collected within the Pentland Firth, UK. Resulting imagery was used to quantify the density distribution of pursuit-diving seabirds, called auks (of the family Alcidae), distribution in …
