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.

Onoufriou et al.
… 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, …

… Currently, there is a high level of uncertainty surrounding the environmental impacts of marine renewable energy devices on marine wildlife (particularly seals, whales, and dolphins). The principal concerns derive from … user-friendly, and data efficient. A 4-phase program involved collaborations between marine mammal specialists, marine renewable energy developers, and sonar engineers to develop a sonar …

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 …

Wallace et al.
… The United Kingdom Centre for Marine Renewable Energy (UKCMER) is a virtual centre, funded under the Engineering and Physical … activities of four additional Grand Challenge projects looking at specific challenges for the marine energy sector: All Electrical Drive Train for Marine Energy Converters (EDRIVE-MEC); FloWTurb: Response of Tidal Energy Converters to Combined …

Bangley et al.
… Understanding the environmental effects of marine renewable energy devices is important for ensuring the responsible development of this new … tidal cycle [2]. However, Minas Basin hosts at least 85 fish species, including diadromous and marine fishes for which Minas Passage serves as an important migratory corridor [3]. This … can provide presence/absence data for the development of species-specific spatiotemporal distribution models and ultimately encounter rate models. Acoustic telemetry has become a …

Lonergan and Thompson
… The rate at which collisions can be expected to occur between marine mammals and tidal energy generation devices is potentially important to both the … a better estimate could be made by averaging the risks over an estimate of the likely joint distribution of animal speeds, directions and orientations throughout the tidal cycle. In …
- Conference Paper:
Li et al.
… is known as clean, renewable energy in the global energy field with broad prospects. Its wide distribution, enormous content and high quality enable the wave energy to possess tremendous …

Offshore Renewables Joint Industry Programme (ORJIP)
… collaborate to evaluate scientific evidence on the potential environmental effects of marine renewable energy development, to assist with permitting, and allow increased and … It presents the best available scientific evidence on the potential environmental effects of marine renewable energy development. This document complements and builds on the Forward Look and … interactions between mobile species and tidal stream turbines. Occupancy patterns, fine-scale distribution and behaviour of mobile species in wave and tidal stream habitats. Far-field …
- Journal Article:
Lowe et al.
… Understanding the abundance and distribution of fish in tidal energy streams is important for assessing the risks presented by …
- 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.…
