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.

… is an increasing need for an understanding of potential noise impacts from this development on marine mammals. Pile-driving of offshore wind turbines produces loud, low frequency sound that … first step is to understand the current baseline ambient noise levels and the spatiotemporal distribution of marine species that could potentially be impacted. In this study, the project … for three years to characterize underwater ambient noise levels and identify vocalizing marine mammal species within and around the Maryland Wind Energy Area (WEA). The project partners …
