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.

… Under European legislation, developers of Marine Renewable Energy installations are required to undertake an Environmental Impact … the potential impact of development. Two years of baseline data on the seasonal occurrence and distribution of sensitive marine species was conducted at the WESTWAVE wave energy test site, Co. Clare, Ireland. Monthly …

… The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/CE) aims to achieve and maintain the 'good environmental status' (GES) of marine ecosystems, including the assessment of marine mammal populations. However, assessing their abundance and distribution is challenging due to their mobility, elusiveness, and difficult data acquisition. …

… Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a more effective method of monitoring cetaceans' distribution and abundance than conventional visual surveys. Cetaceans are highly vocally active … Detection rates of the EARS and USV were compared to investigate their efficiency in detecting marine mammals. Detection events were obtained using independent detectors for each platform and …

… In this dissertation, I build robust species distribution models in two case study areas, US Atlantic (Best et al. 2012) and British Columbia … respectively. Although density is preferred to estimate potential biological removal, per Marine Mammal Protection Act requirements in the U.S., all the necessary parameters, especially distance …

… 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, …

… 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 …

A key finding is that the statistical distribution of total sound pressure levels are dependent on tidal currents at the site. … to ambient noise levels at the site, with secondary contributions from rain, wind, and marine mammal vocalizations. Post-processed data from an AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver …

… hope for a low-carbon electric grid, this climate solution may simultaneously threaten marine wildlife and ecosystems in ways that are not fully understood. In this analysis, I support … gull. Additionally, I leverage geospatial tools to assess the representativeness of marine wildlife abundance levels in project WOW field sites (Vineyard Wind and Empire Wind) … in other wind energy lease sites. To conduct this analysis, I acquired species-specific distribution products from the OBISSEAMAP model repository. After processing these distribution …

… The human presence in the worlds’ oceans is increasing, in response to the growing demand for marine resources. This expansion of human activities will increase pressure on marine ecosystems and demands a responsible ocean management, to ensure the sustainable use of … We found that areas of high impact were strongly influenced by seasonal variations in the distribution of cetaceans. In this case study, we identified an area of high impact in the …
