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.

Festjens et al.
There is an increasing awareness that knowledge of the functional diversity of a community is key to understand how the community responds to environmental and anthropogenic pressures. The Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS) represents a highly dynamic area that is subject to a variety of human activities. The main objective of this study is to investigate the…

Ma et al.
Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) should be conducted at ecologically meaningful scales such as large marine ecosystems to halt further ocean degradation caused by anthropogenic pressures and facilitate ecosystem-based management such as transboundary marine spatial planning (MSP). However, few studies exist at large marine ecosystems scale, especially in the West Pacific seas, where…

Thatcher et al.
As offshore wind energy developments increase globally in response to climate change, it is important to gain an understanding of the effects they are having on the marine environment. Whilst there is growing information on the types of organisms present within these sites, our knowledge of how species interact with these sites is limited. For the first time we examined the movements and…

Livermore et al.
Understanding the prospective environmental impacts of offshore wind energy development requires monitoring that allows for adequate testing of conditions for comparison of unimpacted vs. impacted states. A critical component when designing impact studies is determining the required sampling needed to statistically measure a difference between before and after states in the system, which is…

South Fork Wind
The affected environment related to the SFWF and SFEC consists of areas of habitat that may be designated as EFH for managed fish, shellfish, and mollusk species that reside within these habitats. Regional FMCs and NOAA work together to delineate areas of EFH and manage them. As part of the management, descriptions for general habitats preferred by individual species are created and used as an…

Danish: Vindeby Havmøllepark er den første møllepark som nedtages efter den har udlevet sin levetid. Nærværende miljøvurderingsnotatet er udarbejdet på baggrund af krav / øn-sker fra Energistyrelsen, som led i deres vurdering af om nedtagning af mølleparken er VVM pligtig. Øvrig myndighedsbehandling foretages i henhold til gældende lovgiv-ning og regler på området i…

BOEM Office of Renewable Energy Programs
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 1501.7(a) require agencies such as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to perform certain actions as part of the scoping process, including: • Determining the scope and the significant issues to be…

Sunrise Wind
This report supplements the Sunrise Wind Construction and Operations Plan. Sunrise Wind LLC (Sunrise Wind), a 50/50 joint venture between Orsted North America Inc. (Orsted NA) and Eversource Investment LLC (Eversource), proposes to construct and operate the Sunrise Wind Farm (SRWF) and the…

Jones et al.
Pile driving noise is an intense, repetitive, far-reaching sound that is increasing in many coastal habitats as the offshore wind energy industry expands globally. There is concern for its impacts on keystone species and vital fisheries taxa such as squids. In controlled laboratory conditions, we investigated whether exposure to pile driving noise from offshore wind farm construction altered…

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) assesses the reasonably foreseeable impacts on physical, biological, socioeconomic, and cultural resources that could result from the construction and installation, operations and maintenance, and conceptual decommissioning of the Sunrise Wind Farm (Project) proposed by Sunrise Wind, LLC (Sunrise Wind), in its Construction and Operations Plan (…

Murray et al.
In autumn 2021, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) advisory, as the Statutory Nature Conservation Body, was tasked by Welsh Government to progress a programme of Mapping of Environmental Considerations to support the spatial approach to marine planning. The aim of the work is to compile and present environmental evidence to support Welsh Government and others who are interested in exploring…

Background: Globally, there are a large and growing number of researchers using biotelemetry as a tool to study aquatic animals. In Europe, this community lacks a formal network structure. The aim of this study is to review the use of acoustic telemetry in Europe and document the contribution of cross-boundary studies and inter-research group collaborations. Based on this, we…

With the progress of the offshore renewable energy sector and electrical interconnection projects, a substantial rise in the number of submarine power cables is expected soon. Such cables emit either alternating or direct current magnetic fields whose impact on marine invertebrates is currently unknown and hardly studied. In this context, this study aimed to assess potential short-term…

Between 2007 and 2009, 132,178 cephalopods were sampled in the North Sea during ICES International Bottom Trawl Surveys. Most abundant were the long-finned squids Alloteuthis subulata (124,751 animals) and Loligo forbesii (3415 animals). Short-finned squids such as Todaropsis eblanae, Todarodes sagittatus and Illex coindetii were rare (195 animals…

This study examines the potential impact of offshore wind energy facilities on the local and regional circulation, stratification, and scallop larval dispersal and settlement over the U.S. Northeast continental shelf. A coupled high-resolution (up to ∼ 1.0 m), wind turbine-resolving hydrodynamical (NS-FVCOM) and scallop individual-based (Scallop-IBM) model was employed. Comparisons were made…
