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.

Top predators are known to forage in tidal stream sites. High flow speeds, upwelling or shear may enhance prey availability and foraging efficiency. We need to measure the distribution of animals to understand potential animal interactions with tidal stream energy developments. Our studies have focused on the MeyGen tidal energy site in the Pentland Firth, UK. The FLOWBEC seabed…

Such areas are also key to the development of marine renewable energy due to the reliable and predictable nature of tidally driven flows. … material to the surface and may increase the availability of prey species (fish) for foraging marine megafauna (seabirds and marine mammals). Quantification of animal association and …

Thus, it is important to understand the ecological … and distribution in these areas, to determine the potential ecological implications of marine renewable devices. This study used concurrent observations of foraging seabirds, physical … before and after the installation of a commercial turbine array close to the island of Stroma, Scotland. There were three main findings: First, benthic foraging seabirds showed a clear …
