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.

Logue et al.
In 2020-2022 a select group of Irish educators, marine renewable energy proponents and sustainability stakeholders entered into dialogue with a view to enhancing post-primary educational resources. The paucity of educational resources in this field was highlighted, most notably Irish language resources. This dialogue led to the development and piloting of a bilingual (Irish and English) cross-…

Bailey et al.
As the focus of renewable energy in the United States turns to offshore wind facility development, there is an increasing need for an understanding of potential noise impacts from this development on marine mammals. Pile-driving of offshore wind turbines produces loud, low frequency sound that can travel great distances and could potentially harm or disturb marine mammals. As a result, a…

Salisbury et al.
This study found ample evidence of vocally active right whales, humpback whales and fin whales and the abundance of detected calls showed patterns of seasonality and inter-annual variation. While, minke whales were not detected at the frequency level of the other species, their presence was confirmed in the study area, especially in waters further offshore. Peak presence in the winter months…

Dugstad et al.
Research indicates that local energy projects may disrupt different dimensions of people's sense of place, such as place attachment, causing local resistance within a community. Place-based concepts have therefore been extensively studied in social energy science to explain resistance to energy projects. However, what has been less studied is the integration of place-based concepts within a…

The ocean, which plays an essential role in supporting human life, continues to deteriorate due to anthropogenic underwater noise. This unseen form of pollution is a significant emergent threat to marine and coastal biodiversity. Substantial discussions have occurred on the problem under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) yet further action is needed. The adoption of the Kunming-…

Livermore et al.
Understanding the prospective environmental impacts of offshore wind energy development requires monitoring that allows for adequate testing of conditions for comparison of unimpacted vs. impacted states. A critical component when designing impact studies is determining the required sampling needed to statistically measure a difference between before and after states in the system, which is…

The Alpha Ventus wind farm is the first German offshore wind farm and thus has the longest operational experience of all German offshore wind farms. It is owned by Deutsche Offshore – Testfeld und Infrastructur GmbH & Co. KG, which was formed by the three utilities EWE, E.ON, and Vattenfall. In 2019, RWE AG took over the shares of E.ON. The farm consists of 12 5 MW turbines for a total of…

Deepwater Wind South Fork has collected extensive data to support the characterization of habitats within the South Fork Wind Farm and along the South Fork Export Cable route. These data were used to conduct detailed benthic habitat mapping and a crosswalk of delineated benthic habitat types to essential fish habitat. Habitats were described in terms of complexity, sediment composition,…

The impact-producing factors (IPFs) of underwater noise, vessel traffic, sediment suspension, seafloor disturbance, trash and debris, visible structures, lighting, and electromagnetic fields (EMF) were assessed for their potential to adversely impact marine mammals, sea turtles, and sturgeon that are reasonably expected to occur in or near the South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF) and associated South…

South Fork Wind
The affected environment related to the SFWF and SFEC consists of areas of habitat that may be designated as EFH for managed fish, shellfish, and mollusk species that reside within these habitats. Regional FMCs and NOAA work together to delineate areas of EFH and manage them. As part of the management, descriptions for general habitats preferred by individual species are created and used as an…

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…

de Oliveira et al.
Noise pollution contributes to the global biodiversity crisis, however the consequences of this pollution on anuran diversity patterns are poorly understood. This is especially true of less evident sources of noise like wind farms and highly exploited areas, as in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Here, we evaluated the influence of wind farm noise on anuran assemblages’ diversity at the…

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…

Sanderson et al.
Semidiurnal tidal currents can exceed 5 ms−1 in Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, where a tidal energy demonstration area has been designated to generate electricity using marine hydrokinetic turbines. The risk of harmful fish–turbine interaction cannot be dismissed for either migratory or local fish populations. Individuals belonging to several fish populations were acoustically tagged…

Fockert et al.
Hydraulic structures can be a promising place for tidal energy extraction due to the high flow velocities, easy access to the power grid and easy access for maintenance. However, quantification of the impacts of a tidal power plant in a hydraulic structure is not straight forward. In 2015 a pilot plant consisting of an array of five Tocardo tidal turbines was installed in the Eastern Scheldt…

On September 4, 1977, three others and I found the partly dehydrated body of a Hoary Bat, Lasiurus cinereus, hanging from a barbed wire fence separating two areas of grassland at the north side of Beaverhill Lake. The bat, an adult female, had been caught on a barb along the upper strand of the fence and had been unable to free itself. On closer examination, it was observed that the barb had…

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…
