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.

Langton et al.
Current development plans indicate that during the next decade there will be an increase in tidal stream and wave(TSW) power generation activity in Scottish Waters, together with the designation of additional offshore areas for seabird conservation. This paper summarises how TSW developments could affect seabirds, based on experience from other forms of disturbance, and explores the possible…

Williamson et al.
Top predators are known to forage in tidal stream sites. High flow speeds, upwelling or shear may enhance prey availability and foraging efficiency. We need to measure the distribution of animals to understand potential animal interactions with tidal stream energy developments. Our studies have focused on the MeyGen tidal energy site in the Pentland Firth, UK. The FLOWBEC seabed…
