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.

An overview of the United States' Powering the Blue Economy (PBE) initiative. Specifically, how marine renewable energy's history and feasibility has influenced this new funding direction for the Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office. Marine energy has a unique opportunity to power other maritime industries as well as provide resilience for remote coastal communities. One…

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…

This introductory chapter provides background on the benefits of marine renewable energy (MRE), the importance of measuring environmental interactions for all deployed devices, and the stressor-receptor framework. Chapter 1 also summarizes the work of OES-Environmental and introduces ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) as an MRE source that has not been addressed in previous OES-…

The 2024 State of the Science report encompasses an introduction and a look ahead (this chapter), as well as nine chapters that provide details of research and monitoring findings around the world, identify gaps in knowledge, and list recommendations for addressing these gaps. The main messages from each chapter are briefly summarized in Chapter 11, followed by the outlook for OES-…

Copping
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…

Copping and Grear
Floating offshore wind farms have been proposed in the deep waters off the U.S. west coast and Hawaii to provide renewable energy to coastal populations.Anchoring floating wind platforms to the seabed requires multiple mooring lines that pass through the water column from platforms at the surface to the sea floor. Electrical cables also will be draped in the water column between wind platforms…

This presentation is an explanation of the Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement. This agreement is a framework that exists under the International Energy Agency. However, the IEA is not directly involved, but they do provide the foundation to facilitate international cooperation. The agreement was introduced in 2001 by 3 countries and has now grown to 18. The mission is to, by 2020,…

Copping and Hanna
Potential environmental effects of offshore wind (OSW) energy development are not well understood, and yet regulatory agencies are required to make decisions in spite of substantial uncertainty about environmental impacts and their long-term consequences. An understanding of risks associated with interactions between OSW installations and avian and aquatic receptors, including animals,…

Copping and Kramer
With only a few wave and tidal devices in the water and no long-term post-installation data sets available, there continue to be uncertainties around risks to marine animals and habitats from the deployment and operation of marine renewable energy (MRE) systems [1], [2]. Based on these uncertainties and lack of familiarity with MRE devices, regulators and stakeholders continue to perceive a…

Copping and Farr
This research examined the feasibility of developing small-scale OTEC (3-10 MW) in U.S. waters through case studies in four locations (i.e., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and Guam). In addition to talking to local leaders and experts in OTEC development and processes, we examined the likely environmental effects that will drive permitting (consenting) and licensing processes in the U.S. and…

Hutchison and Copping
This report outlines a coordinated action plan aimed at reducing the scientific uncertainty associated with collision risk of marine animals and tidal turbines. This plan includes steps to take toward resolving the challenging issue of decreasing scientific uncertainty, but is unlikely to completely solve the problem. The content of this report was derived from the involvement of experts…

Chapter 2 examines the status of environmental monitoring around deployed and upcoming MRE devices in countries around the world, with a major emphasis on OES-Environmental member countries. While there is currently no accurate count of the number of MRE devices that have been deployed around the world over the past two decades, it is safe to say that many have had no environmental…

In response to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Waterpower Program Office developed a program on marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy development. During fiscal year 2009 (FY09) the EERE Waterpower Program provided support to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to enable staff to…

Copping and Grear
As tidal turbine deployments continue at test sites and in commercial areas, the potential risk for injury or death of marine mammals from colliding with rotating turbine blades continues to confound efficient consenting (permitting) of devices. Direct observation of collisions is technically very challenging and costly. Estimates of collision risk to date have been derived from complex…
