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.

… A high abundance of the brown shrimp is observed east of the windmill area. The effects of the marine windmills. The effects on fish, shellfish and marine mammals are in the following divided in 1. Effects of the physically presence of the … species for the Wadden Sea. Taking the biology of the species into concern no impact on their distribution is expected in the Wadden Sea due to the windmills at Horns Rev. Artificial reef …

… first commercial sized tidal turbine array on the movements of an acoustically sensitive marine mammal; the harbour seal ( Phoca vitulina ). No significant change in at sea distribution was detected between pre and post installation of the 4 turbine array. However, …

Wilson et al.
… renewable energy from the sea is an attractive alternative to burning fossil fuels. Like any marine industry, obtaining energy from wind, waves or tidal-streams could have impacts on the … drogue systems. These proved highly successful and rapidly revealed patterns of porpoise distribution similar to the more intensive boat-based surveys. That said, because the recorders … to be substantially rarer than if turbines had been deployed in other habitats. Other marine mammal species were seen on the surveys. Most abundant were harbour and grey seals which were …

Russell et al.
… The installation and operation of these devices can result in conflicts with wildlife. In the marine environment, mammals may avoid wind farms that are under construction or operating. Such … spent travelling or displacement from key habitats. A paucity of data on at-sea movements of marine mammals around wind farms limits our understanding of the nature of their potential …

… 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 … undesired impacts. Attraction to and avoidance of offshore wind farms (OWFs) reshuffle species distribution patterns, altering the local expression of ecological functions, and probably are … like red-throated divers Gavia stellata avoid OWFs up to more than ten kilometers, while marine mammals such as harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena avoid areas with excessive sound levels …

… improvements to the Humboldt Bay port. These improvements would include upgrades to Redwood Marine Terminal 1 and adjacent lands to support project construction and maintenance; potential … operations and maintenance, and decommissioning that would result in effects on the marine and terrestrial environments. The potential short-term effects on the marine environment … vessels; (2) seabird and bat collision/avoidance with rotating turbine blades; (3) marine mammal interactions with underwater structure (e.g., cetacean collision or entanglement with lost …

… Aquaculture and marine renewable energy are two expanding sectors of the Blue Economy in Europe. Assessing the … of eutrophication and noise is a priority for both the EU Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, and cumulative impacts will be important for the Maritime … evaluated the following specific ecosystem responses: (i) top-down control pathways due to distribution changes among top-predators (harbor porpoise, gadoids and seabirds) driven by …

… Using automated echolocation detectors in Lyttelton Harbour (New Zealand), we studied the distribution of Hector's dolphins using a gradient sampling design over 92 days within which …
- Report:
Thompson et al.
This report presents an estimate of the risk of collision between harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and tidal turbines on the basis of observed behaviour patterns derived from targeted telemetry tracking studies and recent population survey data. The collision risk associated with a proposed turbine array development in the Pentland Firth was used as a worked example of the method.…

Kot et al.
Whale entanglement in fishing gear is a global problem, and underwater ropes associated with this gear are often the cause of injuries that can lead to fatalities. Minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) are especially at risk because they are relatively small, widely distributed, and often occur in coastal habitats where many types of fishing gear are deployed. It is unknown…
