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.

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 …

Popescu et al.
The challenge of balancing biodiversity protection with economic growth is epitomized by the development of renewable and unconventional energy, whose adoption is aimed at stemming the impacts of global climate change, yet has outpaced our understanding of biodiversity impacts. We evaluated the potential conflict between biodiversity protection and future electricity generation from renewable…
