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.

Xia et al.
The surf zones are significantly affected by tides, however, several gaps still in knowledge of fish assemblages in surf zones response to spring-neap and daily tidal cycles. We investigated fish assemblages in a surf zone of Gaolong Bay in China. The dynamics of fish assemblages were examined during the neap tide and the spring tide to test the hypotheses that (1) fish assemblages reflect a…

Goetsch et al.
Forage fishes are a critical food web link in marine ecosystems, aggregating in a hierarchical patch structure over multiple spatial and temporal scales. Surface-level forage fish aggregations (FFAs) represent a concentrated source of prey available to surface- and shallow-foraging marine predators. Existing survey and analysis methods are often imperfect for studying forage fishes at scales…

Dahlgren et al.
After nearly 30 years of experience with offshore wind energy (OWE), the industry is moving past the initial learning phase and into large-scale development. One of the strongest motivations for OWE is that projects are large enough to replace fossil-fueled electricity production that we know is a primary contributor to the ongoing climate crisis. Environmental concerns are therefore also at…

Bender et al.
Anthropogenic activities and their influences on aquatic systems is an important topic, especially considering the growing interest in using the earth's resources in a sustainable way. One of those anthropogenic activities is the introduction of renewable technologies into the aquatic environment such as instream turbines. Environmental studies around those technologies are often still ongoing…

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…

The impact-producing factors (IPFs) of underwater noise, vessel traffic, sediment suspension, seafloor disturbance, trash and debris, visible structures, lighting, and electromagnetic fields (EMF) were assessed for their potential to adversely impact marine mammals, sea turtles, and sturgeon that are reasonably expected to occur in or near the South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF) and associated South…

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…
- Guidance:
Natural Resource Wales
This guidance has been produced by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to provide advice to developers about the information needed to inform environmental assessments of tidal lagoon developments in Welsh waters. The document provides an overview of the key environmental implications of tidal lagoon development in Wales. The guidance is not exhaustive and does not replace the need for…

Sanderson et al.
Semidiurnal tidal currents can exceed 5 ms−1 in Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, where a tidal energy demonstration area has been designated to generate electricity using marine hydrokinetic turbines. The risk of harmful fish–turbine interaction cannot be dismissed for either migratory or local fish populations. Individuals belonging to several fish populations were acoustically tagged…

Fockert et al.
Hydraulic structures can be a promising place for tidal energy extraction due to the high flow velocities, easy access to the power grid and easy access for maintenance. However, quantification of the impacts of a tidal power plant in a hydraulic structure is not straight forward. In 2015 a pilot plant consisting of an array of five Tocardo tidal turbines was installed in the Eastern Scheldt…

Various forms of commercial and recreational fishing activity occur in and around the US Wind Offshore Wind Lease Area, OCS-A 0490 (“Lease Area”). For the twelve years spanning 20082019, the average annual commercial landings were ~316,000 pounds, and associated annual revenue was ~$218,000 (NOAA Fisheries, 2020). In comparison to some areas of the region, the Lease Area may be considered…

US Wind is developing the Maryland Offshore Wind Project1 (the Project), an offshore wind project of up to 2 gigawatts of generating capacity within OCS-A 0490 (the Lease), an area off the coast of Maryland on the Outer Continental Shelf. US Wind obtained the Lease in 2014 when the company won an auction for two leases from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) which in 2018 were…

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…

During the period of performance between March and October 2020, three types of aerial surveys were conducted within the study area. The study area is defined by a polygon surrounding the general and condensed surveys. During campaign 6A, the eastern side of the study area was expanded by 12 nautical miles to accommodate sightings of right whale aggregations on the eastern edge of the study…

A programme of 16 aerial digital surveys of BOEM’s Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS-A) 0520 lease area, off the coast of Massachusetts, were conducted between December 2019 and November 2020 using APEM Inc.’s (APEM) high-resolution camera system to capture digital still imagery. Images collected have been analyzed by APEM and quality assured by Normandeau Associates (Normandeau). Raw…
