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.

Hemery et al.
For marine wave and tidal energy to successfully contribute to global renewable energy goals and climate change mitigation, marine energy projects need to expand beyond small deployments to large-scale arrays. However, with large-scale projects come potential environmental effects not observed at the scales of single devices and small arrays. One of these effects is the risk of displacing…

Annex IV is an international collaborative project to examine the environmental effects of marine energy devices among countries through the International Energy Agency’s Ocean Energy Systems Initiative (OES). The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) serves as the Operating Agent for the Annex, in partnership with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM; formerly the Minerals Management Service…

Ocean Energy Systems (OES) is a technology collaboration program under the International Energy Agency, convening nations with an interest in the development of marine renewable energy (MRE). Of the 23 countries and the European Commission, 16 nations are party to OES-Environmental, the longest running task under OES. OES-Environmental is led by the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy,…

To advance the marine energy industry, there is a need to not only focus research on designing and testing devices, but also to examine potential environmental effects on marine animals and habitats. To date, the environmental focus has been on interactions of small numbers of marine energy devices with the environment, including collision by animals with turbine blades, underwater sound and…

The blue economy is an emerging sector that will require energy to allow many scientific and commercial endeavors to reach their potential. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office seeks to understand marine and coastal opportunities for which marine energy could fulfill those energy needs. This report documents the material gathered during a year-long fact-finding…

The OES-Environmental 2020 State of the Science Report, which serves as a complement and update to the Annex IV 2016 State of the Science Report, is now available on Tethys, along with an updated Executive Summary, 13 new Short Science Summaries, and various supplementary…

Collar et al.
Hydrokinetic turbines will be a source of noise in the marine environment – both during operation and during installation/removal. High intensity sound can cause injury or behavioral changes in marine mammals and may also affect fish and invertebrates. These noise effects are, however, highly dependent on the individual marine animals; the intensity, frequency, and duration of the sound; and…
- Journal Article:
Knights et al.
Thousands of artificial (‘human-made’) structures are present in the marine environment, many at or approaching end-of-life and requiring urgent decisions regarding their decommissioning. No consensus has been reached on which decommissioning option(s) result in optimal environmental and societal outcomes, in part, owing to a paucity of evidence from real-world decommissioning case studies. To…
- Journal Article:
Knights et al.
Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy is key to international energy transition efforts and the move toward net zero. For many nations, this requires decommissioning of hundreds of oil and gas infrastructure in the marine environment. Current international, regional and national legislation largely dictates that structures must be completely removed at end-of-life although,…
