OES-Environmental has designed metadata forms (questionnaires) that solicit information from developers and researchers that are involved in environmental monitoring and/or studies. These forms capture many of the activities around the world that are exploring the potential environmental impacts of marine energy devices, and often provide links to associated reports. Collected information associated with each project and research have been made publicly available on Tethys via the Knowledge Base and Map Viewer. Updates are requested for ongoing work on an annual basis to ensure that information is reliable and accurate. If you are interested in submitting a metadata form, please fill out one of the following forms and send it to tethys@pnnl.gov.
