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.

European Scalable Offshore Renewable Energy Source (EU-SCORES) is a highly ambitious EU-funded project aimed at demonstrating and unlocking the large-scale potential of multi-source, offshore renewable energy farms across different European sea basins. This will be achieved through two highly comprehensive and impactful demonstrations: (1) An offshore solar PV system in Belgium co-located with…

Potential Environmental Effects on Animals from Marine Renewable Energy: Underwater Noise Animals use sound in the marine environment like humans and animals use light (sight) on land. Underwater sound allows animals to communicate, navigate, interact, forage, and avoid predation. The extent to which marine animals detect and produce sound varies by species and may range across…

Introduction This brochure was developed by OES-Environmental to provide an overview of the environmental effects of marine renewable energy (MRE) development. The goal of the brochure is to familiarize readers with the latest scientific information on the potential impacts of installation and operation of MRE devices. First, MRE technologies are…

The Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub is a £9 Million Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded programme which brings together academia, industry, policy makers and the general public to support and accelerate the development of offshore wind, wave and tidal technology for the benefit of society. The Hub is led by Professor Deborah Greaves OBE, Head…

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 bases have been reviewed by international subject matter experts at conferences and online workshops as part of…

This paper presents a review of existing and emerging wind power technologies in light of the evident trends of the industry, and describes the challenges these technologies will face if wind turbines were to become a significant and reliable source of clean energy of the future. Apart from withstanding both the cost pressures against other forms of renewable and non-renewable…

During this rapid development of wind energy aiming to combat climate change worldwide, there is greater need to avoid, reduce, and compensate for impacts on wildlife: Through the effective use of mitigation, wind energy can continue to expand while reducing impacts. This is a first broad step into discussing and understanding mitigation strategies collectively, identifying the current state…

Microphone arrays are an essential tool in the field of bioacoustics as they provide a nonintrusive way to study animal vocalizations and monitor their movement and behavior. Microphone arrays can be used for passive localization and tracking of sound sources while analyzing beamforming or spatial filtering of the emitted sound. Studying free roaming animals usually requires setting up…

Henderson et al.
After several decades of theoretical developments, desk studies, experimental wind turbines and prototype wind farms, the first large-scale commercial developments of offshore wind farms are now being built. To support and accelerate this development, the European Commission funded a project, ‘Concerted Action on Offshore Wind Energy in Europe’ (CA-OWEE), which aimed to gather, evaluate,…

This paper describes the natural variability of ambient sound in the Southern Ocean, an acoustically pristine marine mammal habitat. Over a 3-year period, two autonomous recorders were moored along the Greenwich meridian to collect underwater passive acoustic data. Ambient sound levels were strongly affected by the annual variation of the sea-ice cover, which decouples local wind speed and…

This is a slide show in review of J. Fords book Marine Mammals of British Columbia. The slides cover a brief (very) introduction to marine mammals of BC, followed by the historical occurrence of whales in BC, recent efforts to determine current status of cetacean species, and recent attempts to identify critical habitat for threatened & endangered species. There are also slides focused on…

Acoustic deterrents have shown potential as a viable mitigation measure to reduce human impacts on bats; however, the mechanisms underpinning acoustic deterrence of bats have yet to be explored. Bats avoid ambient ultrasound in their environment and alter their echolocation calls in response to masking noise. Using stereo thermal videogrammetry and acoustic methods, we tested…

This report presents the results from analysis of subsea video footage gathered between October 2015 and March 2020 as part of Nova Innovation’s programme of environmental monitoring for the Shetland Tidal Array, Bluemull Sound. The use of turbine-mounted subsea cameras to monitor nearfield interactions with mobile species (fish, birds and marine mammals) commenced in October 2015, when the…

The Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species (AMAPPS) is a comprehensive multiagency research program on the U.S. Atlantic outer continental shelf, from Maine to the Florida Keys, covering waters from the coast to beyond the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overarching goal of AMAPPS is to assess the abundance, distribution, ecology…

In this report, we zoom in on patterns of attraction, avoidance and habitat use at various spatial scales (i.e., wind farm-scale, turbine-scale and microhabitat-scale) and across different ecosystem components (i.e., marine mammals, (sea)birds, fish and benthic invertebrates), and demonstrate the benefits of such knowledge to design appropriate measures to mitigate undesired impacts.…

With the growing awareness about the impact of images in climate change communication, wind turbine images are largely associated with positive and solution-oriented actions. This article questions if this is inherently so. Empiric material from the Norwegian media coverage of land-based wind power plants in 2018 and 2020 suggests that wind power images are transitioning from green icons to…

Uncertainty surrounding the potential environmental impacts of marine energy (ME) has resulted in extensive and expensive environmental monitoring requirements for ME deployments. Recently, there have been more ME deployments and associated environmental data collection efforts, but no standardized methodologies for data collection. This hinders the use of previously collected data to inform…

Anthropogenic underwater noise has been identified as a potentially serious stressor for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW). The Government of Canada is undertaking steps to better characterize the noise sources of most concern and their associated impacts, but there is currently an insufficient understanding of which noise sources are most impacting NARW in their…
