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.

Searle et al.
Collision and displacement/barrier impacts for seabirds interacting with offshore wind farms (OWFs) are currently assessed using separate modelling methods. This means collision mortality is estimated separately from displacement and barrier effects, and the effect sizes are subsequently combined. However, there is concern with this approach because the parameters used in both assessments are…

Current development plans indicate that during the next decade there will be an increase in tidal stream and wave(TSW) power generation activity in Scottish Waters, together with the designation of additional offshore areas for seabird conservation. This paper summarises how TSW developments could affect seabirds, based on experience from other forms of disturbance, and explores the possible…

- Report:
McDonald et al.
Offshore renewable developments have the potential to impact on seabirds by displacing individuals from foraging habitats. The impact of displacement is particularly important for breeding seabirds that, as central place foragers, are constrained to obtain food within a certain distance from the breeding colony. The current worst case scenario is that displacement causes 100% mortality,…

Tidal stream turbines could have several direct impacts upon pursuit-diving seabirds foraging within tidal stream environments (mean horizontal current speeds > 2 ms−1), including collisions and displacement. Understanding how foraging seabirds respond to temporally variable but predictable hydrodynamic conditions immediately around devices could identify when interactions…
