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.

… The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/CE) aims to achieve and maintain the 'good environmental status' (GES) of marine ecosystems, including the assessment of marine mammal populations. However, assessing their abundance and distribution is challenging due to their mobility, elusiveness, and difficult data acquisition. …

… to demonstrate that their project will cause minimal harm to biological components of the marine ecosystem. Specifically, the regulatory review process for in-stream tidal energy projects … data that is relevant for understanding their relative frequency of occurrence, abundance, and distribution within 100 meters of an individual tidal energy turbine or platform; Reduce the … to regulators. To build and sustain regulatory confidence, it is critical that fish and marine mammal interactions with tidal energy turbines are reported in a timely manner. In terms of …

… There is a regulatory need to understand the potential for marine renewable energy developments to significantly impact the marine environment and a site’s integrity. To increase certainty, it is necessary to identify whether marine renewable energy devices have any impact on the abundance and distribution on wildlife in the vicinity. The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), in Orkney, …
