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.

Michel et al.
… 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. …
- Research Study:
Mackenzie et al.
The project considered the potential to improve the quality of wildlife surveys through making use of modern statistical modelling methods, particularly density surface modelling techniques (DSM) and developed a ‘best practice’ guidance document and a modelling software package (and associated training) for use in environmental assessments at the project level of proposed offshore energy…

… 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, …

Bangley et al.
… 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 …

… route, and a transit area for many cetacean species. 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 …

… project aims to address long term environmental concerns around the development of the marine renewable industry’s emerging technology, through targeted environmental monitoring … and engagement. The potential environmental impacts that can be associated with the marine energy sector are generally site specific making it difficult to draw conclusions about a … around the deployment locations. Marine acoustic sensors will be used to assess fish distribution and abundance near the devices and gain an understanding of fish attraction to …
