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.

WREN
WREN (Working Together to Resolve Environmental Effects of Wind Energy), also known as IEA Wind Task 34, was established in 2012 to address environmental issues associated with development of land based and offshore wind energy projects. The goal of WREN is to facilitate international collaboration and advance the global understanding of…

White Storks are large diurnal birds of the stork family (Ciconia ciconia) and have a large range across Africa, Europe, Russia, the Middle East and as far east as India. There are both migrant populations which migrate south to Africa, as well as an increasing occurrence of resident white storks in Europe. With regards to wind energy, white storks’ populations are a potentially…

The collision risk evidence base consists of key research studies and reports that define what we understand about the risk of collision with tidal turbines for marine mammals, fish, and diving seabirds. Additional information on collision risk can be found in the 2020 State of the Science (Chapter 3…

As part of the risk retirement process, OES-Environmental has developed "evidence bases" for several key stressors. The evidence bases are lists of key research papers and monitoring reports for each stressor that support risk retirement for small numbers of MRE devices. The evidence base for changes in oceanographic systems has been compiled for tidal and wave below. This collection has been…

Potential Entrapment of Marine Animals from Marine Renewable Energy: Entanglement Risk Most marine renewable energy (MRE) devices are attached to the seabed with mooring lines or anchors, which allow them to maintain their position within the water column or on the sea surface. In an array, cables are also used to…

Adaptive management (AM) is a learning-based management approach that is used to reduce scientific uncertainty, and has been applied to many types of development including filling of wetlands and various forms of renewable energy. AM has been identified as a tool to advance the wind energy industry. The AM summary (fact sheet) was created to provide a broad summary of the WREN…

In June 2023, the International Energy Agency Wind Task 34—Working Together to Resolve the Environmental Effects of Wind Energy (WREN)—organized a forum to discuss monitoring and minimization strategies used to study raptor interactions with wind energy facilities. The forum included experts in raptor movement and behavior, minimization measures…

This Educational Research Brief summarizes how birds and bats interact with wind turbines and how that relates to potential collision events and behavioral responses, including avoidance. Given the lack of empirical studies quantifying mortality at offshore wind turbines, inference was based on offshore activity patterns of birds and bats, collision risk from land-based wind farms, and…
