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.

Scott-Hayward et al.
For both developers and government licensing organisations it is important to have the ability to quantify spatially explicit change in the density and/or distribution of animals in and around marine renewables sites and, in particular, to identify if change occurs near renewables devices[1]. The publicly available MRSea package (Marine Renewable Strategic environmental assessment)[2] has…

Tidal-stream Energy Converter (TEC) arrays are expected to reduce tidal current speeds locally, thus impacting sedimentary processes, even when devices are positioned above bedrock. Tidal dissipation can produce high suspended sediment concentrations (turbidity maxima) which are important for biological productivity. Also, devices will potentially impact morphological features further afield,…

Nikoloff et al.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a form of marine renewable energy that harnesses the temperature gradient between warmer surface waters and cooler deep waters to power a heat engine and produce electricity. OTEC has capacity to produce immense amounts of continuously available, renewable energy, although to date the technology has only been implemented in small-scale, pilot plants.…

Barre et al.
Wind farm developers have to provide an effective mitigation hierarchy: an avoidance and a reduction of negative impacts of wind farm on biodiversity (bats in our case), and to implement offsetting measures when residual impacts persist. Offsetting consists in implementing measures (e.g. hedgerows) that counteract residual losses of biodiversity and generate gains in order to achieve a no net…

da Costa et al.
Over the last 15 years, more than 900 wind turbines were built within Portuguese wolf range. Due to the endangered status of this large carnivore in Portugal, several monitoring plans were conducted, resulting in a reasonable amount of information on the effects of wind farms on wolves. We reviewed methodological approaches, compiled major findings and summarized mitigation/compensation…

The attached presentation describes a method for wind farm prioritisation based on potential impacts on wolf habitat in Croatia.

Álvares et al.
Wind-power development has substantially increased in the last decade in Portugal and associated structures mostly overlap with wolf range, which raises major conservation concerns as a potential source of disturbance to this endangered carnivore. However, a comprehensive evaluation is greatly hampered by difficulties in studying wolf ecology and current lack of knowledge on the impacts of…

Lloyd et al.
Background • The development of tidal turbine technology is key to the capture of renewable energy, with an estimated 18TWh/year1 available from the UK’s tidal resource alone. • In the design and implementation of such devices environmental impact assessment is mandatory, including an investigation of the noise generated by the turbine and its likely effect on marine animals (summarised…

Scientific-grade echosounders are a standard tool in fisheries science and have been used for monitoring the interactions of fish with tidal energy turbines in various high flow environments around the world. Some of the physical features of the Minas Passage present unique challenges in using echosounders for monitoring in this environment (e.g., entrained air and…

Population trend analysis is an essential aspect of wildlife conservation and management. Bat roosts provide an opportunity to sample populations while gathered in high concentrations. Roost emergences have been historically surveyed by visual counts in real-time, either with the naked eye or through night-vision goggles. Comparing the efficacy and precision of historically accepted methods…

To improve our understanding of cumulative biological impacts from offshore wind development, NYSERDA convened seven topical State of the Science workgroups in November 2020. The goal for the workgroups was to identify a list of priority studies that could be implemented in the next five years to position the stakeholder community to better understand cumulative impacts as the offshore wind…

Ocean Energy Systems (OES) is a technology collaboration program under the International Energy Agency, convening nations with an interest in the development of marine renewable energy (MRE). Of the 23 countries and the European Commission, 16 nations are party to OES-Environmental, the longest running task under OES. OES-Environmental is led by the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy,…
