OES-Environmental
Marine renewable energy (MRE) devices generate electricity from the ocean’s waves, tides, and currents. As we install these devices in the ocean to provide clean energy and help combat climate change, it is possible that they could affect the marine environment. However, scientists and engineers are making sure animals and their habitats will not be harmed. Learn more about how MRE devices…

Windenergieanlagen verursachen in Deutschland eine relativ hohe Zahl an Fledermausschlagopfern, die potenziell zu Bestandseinbußen führen können. Ein wirksamer Fledermausschutz ist daher für die Umsetzung einer ökologisch-nachhaltigen Energiewende, die sowohl die Ziele des Klimaschutzes als auch die des Biodiversitätsschutzes berücksichtigt, notwendig. Ein wirksamer Fledermausschutz beim Bau…

Bispo et al.
This book provides a state-of-art overview of the significant advances in understanding the impacts of wind energy on wildlife. However, many challenges remain regarding planning and policy, assessment of direct and indirect effects on wildlife, methodological approaches, technology development, and mitigation strategies and their effectiveness. The book comprises a selection of the…

Simmonds and MacLennan
Living resources of the sea and fresh water have long been an important source of food and economic activity. With fish stocks continuing to be over-exploited, there is a clear focus on fisheries management, to which acoustic methods can and do make an important contribution. The second edition of this widely used book covers the many technological developments which have occurred since…

Price and Robinson
Social assessment for projects in China is an important emerging field. This collection of essays - from authors whose formative work has influenced the policies that shape practice in development-affected communities - locates recent Chinese experience of the development of social assessment practices (including in displacement and resettlement) in a historical and comparative perspective.…

Walters
The author challenges the traditional approach to dealing with uncertainty in the management of such renewable resources as fish and wildlife. He argues that scientific understanding will come from the experience of management as an ongoing, adaptive, and experimental process, rather than through basic research or the development of ecological theory. The opening chapters review…

Fisher et al.
This challenging book takes a broad and thought-provoking look at the precautionary principle and its implementation, or potential implementation, in a number of fields. In particular, it explores the challenges faced by public decision-making processes when applying the precautionary principle, including its role in risk management and risk assessment. Frameworks for improved decision-making…

Turnpenny et al.
This report summarises the findings of a study to improve the accuracy of prediction methods for fish fatalities for small-head Francis and Kaplan propeller turbine designs and gives details of computational fluid dynamic modelling to estimate pressure fluxes and shear stresses. Biological data is reviewed, and the STRIKER Excel spreadsheet model is used to predict death caused by pressure…

ISO/TC 43/SC 3
ISO 18405:2017 defines terms and expressions used in the field of underwater acoustics, including natural, biological and anthropogenic (i.e. man-made) sound. It includes the generation, propagation and reception of underwater sound and its scattering, including reflection, in the underwater environment including the seabed (or sea bottom), sea surface and biological organisms. It also…

Throughout the world, the threat of climate change is pressing governments to accelerate the deployment of technologies to generate low carbon electricity or heat. But this is frequently leading to controversy, as energy and planning policies are revised to support new energy sources or technologies (e.g. offshore wind, tidal, bioenergy or hydrogen energy) and communities face the prospect of…

Wright et al.
Energy from wave and tidal power is a key component of current policies for renewable sources of energy. This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of legal, economic, and social issues related to the emerging ocean energy industry, in particular wave and tidal energy technologies. This industry is rapidly developing, and considerable technical literature has…

When faced with complicated, potentially controversial decisions that affect our environment, many resource management agencies have come to realize the value of structured decision making (SDM)—the systematic use of principles and tools of decision analysis. Few professionals, however, have extensive experience implementing SDM. Structured Decision Making provides key information to both…

Walker and Swift
This book begins with a history of wind power and the social impacts of both electricity and wind power from a historical perspective, a discussion of basic electrical terms, and a primer on the conversion of power in the wind to electricity. Much of the second half of the book is devoted to comparing wind energy to other forms of electric generation, both renewable and non-renewable sources.…

Renewable energies offshore are becoming a significant contributor to the total energy produced in some countries and the interest in the subject is increasing worldwide. Various forms of renewable energy are being developed, from which some are at sea. There are some forms of energy that depend on the sea such as wave, tides and OTEC, which are the ones traditionally known as ocean energy but…
