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.

Two wind energy areas (WEAs), designated by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, offshore of Massachusetts and Rhode Island were surveyed between October 2011 and June 2015. A total of 969 cetacean sightings of over 10,000 animals were documented during systematic line-transect aerial surveys (67,525 km flown).…

… Scenarios from PBL1 , aiming for 2050, foresee the construction of 12 to 60 GW of marine offshore wind capacity in the Dutch part of the North Sea. Neighbouring countries have … The possible knock-on effects of such changes on higher trophic levels (e.g. fish, birds, marine mammals) are also likely but are not treated in this report. The following possible … in turn zooplankton densities. - The “stepping-stone” effect of the OWF (increase of spatial distribution of hard-substrate species) may be serious and lead to genetic homogenisation and to …

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.…
