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.

… data is crucial for planning, permitting, execution and post construction monitoring of marine renewable energy projects. In harsh conditions in which marine renewable energy is harvested, integrated monitoring platforms comprising multibeam … imaging sonar systems coupled with other sensors can provide multiparametric data of the marine environment surrounding marine renewable energy installations. The aim of this study was …

Horne et al.
… Marine hydrokinetic energy sites have the potential to impact distributions, dynamics, and abundances of macroinvertebrates, fish, and marine mammals (i.e., nekton). Potential impacts include changes in aggregation, avoidance, and … and the application of monitoring technologies is complicated by extreme flows at marine hydrokinetic energy sites. An echosounder, multibeam sonar, and acoustic camera will be …

… 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 …

… study will inform the choice, deployment, and data analyses of acoustic instrumentation use at marine hydrokinetic (MHK) sites. Objectives Research objectives include evaluation of acoustic … through monitoring and characterization of animal densities and distributions at a proposed marine hydrokinetic site in Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound, WA. More specifically, to describe spatio-temporal distributions of macro-invertebrate, fish, seabird, and marine mammal populations at the study site through a combination of efforts including: collecting …

… 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 …

… Understanding the environmental effects of marine renewable energy devices is important for ensuring the responsible development of this new … tidal cycle [2]. However, Minas Basin hosts at least 85 fish species, including diadromous and marine fishes for which Minas Passage serves as an important migratory corridor [3]. This … can provide presence/absence data for the development of species-specific spatiotemporal distribution models and ultimately encounter rate models. Acoustic telemetry has become a …

- Journal Article:
Popescu et al.
The challenge of balancing biodiversity protection with economic growth is epitomized by the development of renewable and unconventional energy, whose adoption is aimed at stemming the impacts of global climate change, yet has outpaced our understanding of biodiversity impacts. We evaluated the potential conflict between biodiversity protection and future electricity generation from renewable…
