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.

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…

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…

Large soaring raptors vs wind turbines development in the Swiss Alps is an applied research project launched by the Division of Conservation Biology, University of Bern, in autumn 2014. The project’s main objectives were to develop spatially-explicit models that may assist governmental agencies and non-governmental associations in their decision-making process regarding the suitability of…

The anticipated build-out of renewable energy development over the next 10 to 15 years is staggering, presenting both challenges and barriers in the path toward mitigating climate change through an energy transition that simultaneously facilitates wildlife conservation. Solving this immense challenge will require work across sectors to identify and evaluate solutions. These proceedings…

Projected global growth in wind energy development has the potential to negatively affect wildlife populations, and yet the indirect effects of wind turbines on wildlife (e.g., displacement from otherwise suitable habitat) remain largely understudied, compared with investigations of direct effects (e.g., collision mortality). Thus, over a 3-yr period (2009–2011), we used 2 alternative survey…

This deliverable provides a critical analysis of management measures that can be used to mitigate or manage the potential environmental effects of wave and tidal energy developments. The aim of this deliverable is to critically analyse the environmental mitigation and monitoring measures that have been used to date in completed or planned wave and tidal energy projects. This will provide…

This deliverable provides a summary of key knowledge gaps regarding the potential environmental effects of wave and tidal energy development and an overview of consenting risks relevant to the sectors. This deliverable is informed by a number of key existing resources, such as ORJIP Ocean Energy’s Forward Look and OES Annex IV’s State of the Science report, which highlight knowledge…

Installed wind-generation capacity has been rapidly expanding globally and in France. In this article, we conduct a structured literature review on resources related, technical, economic, environmental and social aspects regarding onshore and offshore wind, with a focus on France. On the technical side, we cover the whole energy conversion chain. For economic aspects, we review different costs…

Exploiting wind energy at sea offers an attractive source of renewable energy avoiding problems on land, but what are the consequences for birds? We review the Danish and European experience of offshore (i.e. marine) windfarms and the effects and impacts which we consider they may have on birds, primarily through barriers to movement, displacement from ideal feeding distributions and collision…

Aschwanden and Liechti
Exploitation of wind energy holds a potential for conflict with bird life. Next to changes in habitat and loss of habitat, mortality of breeding and migratory birds from collisions is globally perceived to be one of the major problems. The solutions discussed in Switzerland to reduce the number of collisions of birds migrating on a broad front included the proposition to temporarily shut down…

European Scalable Offshore Renewable Energy Source (EU-SCORES) is a highly ambitious EU-funded project aimed at demonstrating and unlocking the large-scale potential of multi-source, offshore renewable energy farms across different European sea basins. This will be achieved through two highly comprehensive and impactful demonstrations: (1) An offshore solar PV system in Belgium co-located with…

Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited
This post-construction monitoring report has been prepared by Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited (BOWL) as part of the Project Environmental Monitoring Programme (PEMP) required as part of Section 36 Consents. This report describes the post-construction element of condition 27 PEMP in relation to sandeel. The completion of this survey also satisfies condition 36 of BOWL’s Section 36 consent in…

Little empirical evidence exists of the biology of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) as they enter the marine habitat or of the factors which influence their subsequent survival and migration. This is primarily due to the difficulties in locating and capturing individuals during this transit period. Mortality in the early marine stages of migration is thought to be high, reported mortality…

The Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm is located in the Moray Firth, at its closest 13.5 km from the Caithness coast. Construction of the offshore elements began in April 2017, the first turbine was installed and operational by July 2018 and the final turbine was installed on the 14th May 2019. The potential ornithological impacts which were considered of greatest concern during the…

Energy generated by land-based wind power is expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the economy. However, with the looming biodiversity and nature crises, spatial allocation of wind power can no longer be considered solely a trade-of against local disamenity costs. Emphasis should also be put on wider environmental impacts, especially if these challenge the sustainability of…

The aim of this study was to identify which bird impact types are considered significant in practice in Finnish environmental assessment reports regarding wind power. Increasing numbers of wind turbines can impact birds directly and indirectly, which could contribute to the loss of bird diversity. Amid climate change mitigation attempts, biodiversity loss should not be overlooked.…

Global expansion of marine renewable energy (MRE) technologies is needed to help address the impacts of climate change, to ensure a sustainable transition from carbon-based energy sources, and to meet national energy security needs using locally-generated electricity. However, the MRE sector has yet to realize its full potential due to the limited scale of device deployments (i.e., single…
