The Tethys team has partnered with IEA Wind’s WREN Initiative to collect information, or metadata, on the environmental effects of offshore wind energy projects on marine animals, habitats, and ecosystem processes. By making this information available, Tethys and WREN aim to enhance transparency around environmental monitoring efforts to progress the global state of knowledge and advance the industry in an environmentally responsible manner.
View the new Offshore Wind Metadata tool now!
Tethys has 11 years of experience hosting similar information for marine energy projects (e.g., wave, tidal) through the OES-Environmental Initiative. Annual updates will be sought from offshore wind project developers to ensure the information is reliable and accurate. If you would like to submit a project, please email tethys@pnnl.gov.
Join the Tethys team on 10 October 2023 from 8:00-8:30 AM PDT (3:00-3:30 PM UTC) to learn more about offshore wind environmental metadata on Tethys! The webinar will feature a live demonstration of the new tool, highlight several major offshore wind projects around the world, and describe how offshore wind project developers can contribute. Register here!
The webinar recording will be made available on this page and sent to all registrants shortly after the webinar.
