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.

Early deployments of wave and tidal energy projects are providing information on environmental effects of the devices, moorings, and power cables; these data will help inform later deployments and guide regulatory decisions as the industry moves towards the commercial scale. However, there is still considerable uncertainty about many potential interactions of devices and systems with the…

The marine renewable energy (MRE) industry is young—most technology development and testing for tidal and wave devices has taken place over the past 10–15 years. As wave and tidal devices continue to be deployed for demonstration, testing, and pilot projects, and the earliest commercial arrays are being developed, regulators around the world are requiring that a significant amount of data be…

- Conference Paper:
Copping et al.
Potential environmental effects from tidal and wave devices are of concern to regulators, advisors, and other stakeholders in many nations. Monitoring results from early deployments and the first commercial arrays, coupled with targeted research studies, are providing a growing base of knowledge of how components of tidal turbines and wave energy …
- Journal Article:
Whiting et al.
The placement and operation of marine energy deployments in the ocean have the potential to change flow patterns, decrease wave heights, and/or remove energy from the oceanographic system. Changes in oceanographic systems resulting from harvesting marine energy, particularly tidal and wave energy, may be of concern. These changes include alterations in nearfield and farfield physical processes…

Freeman et al.
With only a few wave and tidal devices in the water and no long-term post-installation datasets available, there continue to be uncertainties around risks to marine animals and habitats from the deployment and operation of marine renewable energy (MRE) systems. Based on these uncertainties and lack of familiarity with MRE devices, regulators and stakeholders continue to perceive a wide array…

The pace of development for wave and tidal energy projects worldwide continues to be hindered by uncertainty surrounding potential environmental effects of the devices and the balance of system. To respond to this uncertainty the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) international agreement developed a collaborative initiative (Annex IV). Over an initial three-year period (2010-2012) Annex IV collected…

Copping et al.
The pace of development for marine energy projects worldwide continues to be hindered by uncertainty surrounding potential environmental effects of wave and tidal devices and the balance of system. In response to this continued uncertainty, member nations of the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) developed a collaborative project – Annex IV – to increase collection and sharing of knowledge, research…

Copping et al.
Concerns about the potential effects of tidal turbines and wave energy devices on the marine environment continue to slow siting and consenting/permitting (hereafter “consenting”) of single devices and arrays worldwide. While research studies and early results from post-installation monitoring over the past decade have informed interactions between marine renewable energy (MRE) devices, marine…
- Journal Article:
Copping et al.
The pressure to develop new and renewable forms of energy to combat climate change, ocean acidification, and energy security has encouraged exploration of sources of power generation from the ocean. One of the major challenges to deploying these devices is discerning the likely effects those devices and associated systems will have on the marine environment. Determining the effects each device…

Many fish species are threatened worldwide by overfishing, contamination, coastal development, climate change, and other anthropogenic activities. Marine renewable energy (MRE) is under development as a sustainable alternative to carbon-based energy sources. Regulators and stakeholders worry that MRE devices will add another threat to fish populations already under pressure. This paper reviews…

Green et al.
The blue economy is a dynamic and rapidly growing movement that captures the interplay between economic, social, and ecological sustainability of the ocean and encompasses numerous maritime sectors and activities (e.g., commerce and trade; living resources; renewable energy; minerals, materials, and freshwater; and ocean health and data). The demand for ocean data to inform scientific, risk…

The “Blue Economy” is a rapidly growing movement based on the economic, social, and ecological sustainability of the ocean and encompasses various maritime activities, including ocean observations. The demand for ocean data to inform scientific, risk reduction, and national security needs relies upon future deployments of observing systems and over coming constraints, such as power. In…

Ko et al.
Following numerous global scientific studies and major international agreements, the decarbonization of energy systems is an apparent and pressing concern. The consequence of continued emission growth tied to rising global average temperatures is difficult to predict, but against a background of other natural and human-induced disasters, may create a situation, from a positive perspective,…

Hasselman et al.
Global expansion of marine renewable energy (MRE) technologies is needed to help address the effects of climate change [1], to ensure a sustainable transition from carbon-based energy sources, and to meet energy security needs using locally generated electricity. Although the amount of potentially harvestable tidal stream and wave energy from nearshore regions around the world is sufficient to…

The overarching goal of this West Coast Environmental Protocols Framework is to describe a clear, consistent process for regulators and industry to follow when designing environmental baseline and post-installation monitoring studies for proposed wave, tidal and offshore wind projects along the U.S West Coast, thus reducing time and uncertainty associated with project development. The…
