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.

We also compared the performance of these methods and appropriate … out using simulated scenarios based on off-shore and near-shore data collected from existing marine renewable developments. In particular, off-shore and near-shore data were each generated … showed fidelity to the simulated animal distributions. Uncertainty in the predicted spatial distribution of animals was close to its nominal (95% coverage) level. This document contains a …

… to a variety of anthropogenic impacts including pollution, noise, and fishery interactions. Marine renewable energy projects currently in development in California have the potential to … monitoring strategies are necessary to establish baseline data prior to the installation of marine renewable energy structures, to determine the impacts of construction activities, and to … be required to characterize this relationship accurately. The data suggest that the spatial distribution of harbor porpoises shifts over periods of weeks and can be highly variable between …

The objectives of this study are to evaluate for the North Sea marine ecosystem the knowledge base to assess the cumulative impacts of all the main human … we discuss the possibilities to apply CIA in the context of an ecosystem-based approach to marine spatial planning aimed at achieving existing environmental marine policy goals. This report provides an overview of the state-of-the-art knowledge to assess …

… highest risk of severe or lethal injury due to a ship strikes. On the waterway network the distribution of ton-force of ship traffic is rather uniform, and thus, the distribution of whales rather than ton-force determines the distribution of risk of potential severity of injury to whales. We use impact physics from known …

The distribution of haul out sites also changed between years, although both in 2002 and 2003 the … have reported a large sandbar appearing parallel to Scroby, which would indicate that sand distribution has changed. The seals may have chosen different haul out sites in 2003 because, as … is that the seals prefer hauling out on some substrate types more than others, and that the distribution of these substrates changed between years. This example highlights an important …

This report presents a summary of the data collected during the initial transmitter deployments on harbour seals in the Kyle Rhea study area in 2012. As such it forms one of a series of interim reports describing the movements and diving behaviour of seals in areas of high tidal energy. It is designed simply to present the information most likely to be of use in assessing the potential…

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.…
