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 International Finance Corporation (World Bank), European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and German Development Bank (KfW) have published a Good Practice Handbook on the topic of Post-construction Fatality Monitoring (PCFM) for birds and bats, which is accompanied by an automated…

The wind power industry looks set for a boom following the agreement of the EU's 2009 Renewable Energy Strategy and the introduction of a more sympathetic planning act last year. But the picture across Europe remains inconsistent; although many countries are building wind farms capable of generating hundreds of megawatts of power – in Denmark, nearly one fifth of stationary…

As climate change becomes a more pressing reality in the 21st century, governments around the world are setting targets to meet electricity production demand from renewable energy sources such as tidal streams. However, tidal stream environments are also important habitats for marine wildlife, including seabirds. Risk of collision and habitat displacement are the major negative effects of…

Research on potentially adverse effects of wind farms is an expanding field of study and often focuses on large raptors, such as golden eagles, largely because of their life history traits and extensive habitat requirements. These features render them sensitive to either fatality (collision with turbine blades) or functional habitat loss (avoidance through wariness of turbines). Simplistically…

Lamb et al.
Located at the shortest overland route between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, Mexico's Tehuantepec Isthmus is a globally important migratory corridor for many terrestrial bird species. The Pacific coast of the Isthmus also contains a significant wetland complex that supports large multi-species aggregations of non-breeding waterbirds during the boreal winter. In recent years,…

African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds Agreement (AEWA)
Recognising the importance to society of an adequate and stable energy supply and that renewable energy sources can significantly contribute to achieving this, and aware that renewable power generation, especially from wind energy, large solar panel power stations and biomass production, is projected by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to increase four- to six-fold by 2030,…

Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)
Recognizing the importance to society of an adequate and stable energy supply and that renewable energy sources can significantly contribute to achieving this, and aware that renewable power generation, especially from wind energy, large solar panel power stations, and biomass production, is projected by the International Energy Agency to triple by 2035, Recognizing also that the rapid…

Malzer et al.
In this paper, we report on a newly developed 34 GHz radar system and its field application in the wind energy testing site WINSENT on the Swabian Alb (Germany). The envisaged sensor system addresses the early detection of birds for a bird-friendly wind turbine operation. In this way, wind turbines could be adaptively controlled to reduce the collision risk of endangered species. Besides the…

Willmott et al.
Knowledge of the movement and behaviour of birds and bats around turbines in the offshore marine environment is critical for assessing the environmental impacts of offshore wind developments in the eastern USA. To address the problem of gathering high-quality, long-term data on these species in this remote environment, we designed a multi-sensor system that was recently deployed for 6 months…

In a recent article (James 2008) I provided information about some bird species nesting near wind turbines, where I had found nests for those species. In this articleI will look more generally at bird populations in areas near wind turbines, as revealed by breeding bird surveys. In order to try to assess any potential effects of wind turbines on bird populations, it is usual to undertake a…

Duriez et al.
The impact of bird mortality by collision on windfarms has often been evaluated at the individual level, but rarely at the population level. The Lesser kestrel Falco naumanni is an endangered short-lived migratory raptor, susceptible to collision with wind turbines. We evaluated the impacts of windfarm turbine collisions on the demography of the largest lesser kestrel population in…

With the rapid acceleration of wind energy development there is a growing need to meet the consequences this has for the natural environment. Failing to mitigate environmental impacts is an important cause of conflict in wind energy projects, leading to costly delays in planned wind energy development. It is therefore of the utmost importance to identify effective solutions and measures to…

Wang et al.
The global demand for renewable energy has resulted in a rapid expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) and increased attention to the ecological impacts of OWFs on the marine ecosystem. Previous reviews mainly focused on the OWFs’ impacts on individual species like birds, bats, or mammals. This review collected numerous field-measured data and simulated results to summarize the ecological…

Automated radio telemetry systems consist of radio tags (small transmitters attached to birds, bats, or insects) and stations (receivers with antennas that record signals from “tagged” organisms within detection range). The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (‘Motus’; www.motus.org) is an international collaborative research network that uses cooperative…

Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) should be conducted at ecologically meaningful scales such as large marine ecosystems to halt further ocean degradation caused by anthropogenic pressures and facilitate ecosystem-based management such as transboundary marine spatial planning (MSP). However, few studies exist at large marine ecosystems scale, especially in the West Pacific seas, where…

We reviewed medical records from select wildlife rehabilitation facilities in California to determine the prevalence of injury in California Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis), gulls (Larus spp.), and pinniped species (Zalophus californianus, Mirounga angustirostris, and Phoca vitulina) due to fishing gear entanglement and ingestion from 2001…

The South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF), as proposed by Deepwater Wind South Fork LLC (DWSF), will consist of the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of an up to 15 wind turbine generators (WTGs) on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), as well as both the offshore and onshore components of an electrical energy export cable (South Fork Export Cable; SFEC) that will…

Natural Resource Wales
This guidance has been produced by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to provide advice to developers about the information needed to inform environmental assessments of tidal lagoon developments in Welsh waters. The document provides an overview of the key environmental implications of tidal lagoon development in Wales. The guidance is not exhaustive and does not replace the need for…

In the nights of October 1 and 7, 1954, and September 23, 1955, red bats (Lasiurus borealis), totalling five, crashed into the WIBW-TV television tower at one mile west of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. Members of the Topeka Audubon Society collected the bats together with more than 1,000 birds at the base of the 950 foot tower, and presented the specimens to the University of Kansas Museum…
