Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA)
A total of 88 survey responses were received from the fishing industry participants from across the United States. The research priorities were not ranked. In addition to the specific research topics listed herein, a number of respondents suggested general considerations relevant to the role of research in OSW planning. The research recommendations evidenced a clear perception that meaningful…

NMFS establishes regulations to implement speed restrictions of no more than 10 knots applying to all vessels 65 ft (19.8 m) or greater in overall length in certain locations and at certain times of the year along the east coast of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard. The purpose of the regulations is to reduce the likelihood of deaths and serious injuries to endangered North Atlantic right whales that…

The demand to produce energy from renewable resources has increased alongside global energy consumption (Saidur et al. 2011). This form of energy production can help reduce carbon emissions – a long-term goal for many countries and an effective way to mitigate the effects of global climate change on biodiversity (Leung and Yang 2012). However, some renewable energy installations can have…

Simmons et al.
Since the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, many of the world’s nations have agreed to limit their greenhouse gas emissions because they are the root cause of global climate change. This necessitated a commitment to move away from carbon-polluting energy sources such as coal and oil to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. South Africa signed the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreements and…

Of all America’s wildlife, eagles hold perhaps the most revered place in our national history and culture. The United States has long imposed special protections for its bald and golden eagle populations. Now, as the nation seeks to increase its production of domestic energy, wind energy developers and wildlife agencies have recognized a need for specific guidance to help make wind energy…

The story is very interesting and indicative of our time marked by historical changes in Eastern Europe.The first reports of concentrations of migratory raptors on the western Black Sea Coast are reported by Alleon & Vian (1869, 1870) who have established an intensive migratory migration in the Bosphorus but they do not use the term Via Pontica. In 1930, the great Bulgarian ornithologist,…

Bats are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic changes because of their low reproductive rate, longevity, and high metabolic rates (Voigt and Kingston 2016), limiting their ability to recover from declines (Barclay and Harder 2003). Bat fatalities due to wind turbines raise serious concerns about population-level impacts (Barclay and Harder 2003; Frick et al. 2017). In addition to natural…

When the EU Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy (Offshore Strategy) was released in November 2020, few predicted the crisis that would soon impact Europe’s energy systems. But as the circumstances changed dramatically, the Offshore Strategy only became more and more relevant. Deepening and widening access to Europe’s indigenous renewable energy sources is more critical than ever. The heightened…

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
This guidance provides lighting and marking recommendations for wind energy facilities, which include meteorological towers, wind turbine generators and electrical service platforms, on Federal renewable energy leases on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This guidance also outlines the types of information that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) would find helpful as it reviews a…

Marine energy has been gaining attention as a potential contributor to the diversification of the Dutch renewable portfolio and to sustainable energy generation in the North Sea. In July of this year, three motions1 were submitted to the Dutch Parliament, requesting the government to invest in research and demonstrations of marine energy. All three were accepted, indicating the willingness of…

The XLPE cable should at least have a conductor cross section adequate to meet the system requirements for power transmission capacity. The cost of energy losses can be reduced by using larger conductor. Load losses in XLPE cables are primarily due to the ohmic losses in the conductor and the metallic screen. XLPE cables can be loaded continuously to a conductor temperature of 90°C. The…
