AB - Brings together research focused on improving our understanding of marine renewable energy and environmental interactionsCovers environmental topics related to wind, wave and tidal energy technologyDescribes novel methods for collecting data in locations with extreme environmental conditionsIt is now widely recognized that there is a need for long-term secure and suitable sustainable forms of energy. Renewable energy from the marine environment, in particular renewable energy from tidal currents, wave and wind, can help achieve a sustainable energy future. Our understanding of environmental impacts and suitable mitigation methods associated with extracting renewable energy from the marine environment is improving all the time, and it is essential that we be able to distinguish between natural and anthropocentric drivers and impacts. An overview of current understanding of the environmental implications of marine renewable energy technology is provided.Table of ContentsAn Introduction to Marine Renewable EnergyThe Physics and Hydrodynamic Setting of Marine Renewable EnergyBaselines and Monitoring Methods for Detecting Impacts of Hydrodynamic Energy Extraction on Intertidal Communities of Rocky ShoresAssessing the Impact of Windfarms in Subtidal, Exposed Marine AreasThe Influence of Fisheries Exclusion and Addition of Hard Substrata on Fish and CrustaceansMarine Renewable Energy, Electromagnetic (EM) Fields and EM-Sensitive AnimalsSeabirds and Marine Renewables: Are we Asking the Right Questions?Marine Renewable Energy and Environmental Interactions: Baseline Assessments of Seabirds, Marine Mammals, Sea Turtles and Benthic Communities on the Oregon ShelfRethinking Underwater Sound-Recording Methods to Work at Tidal-Stream and Wave-Energy Sites Tracking Technologies for Quantifying Marine Mammal Interactions with Tidal Turbines: Pitfalls and PossibilitiesStrategic Sectoral Planning for Offshore Renewable Energy in ScotlandStrangford Lough and the SeaGen Tidal Turbine
