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.

Raghukumar et al.
Sound generated by marine energy (ME) installations in the ocean environment remains a particular concern for environmental permitting despite the limited evidence showing low levels of ME sounds relative to other anthropogenic sounds. In an effort to increase understanding of potential environmental effects of marine energy projects and help reduce barriers to marine energy deployments, a new…

The ocean is not a ‘silent world’, particularly near coastlines. Wave breaking, seismic events and marine inhabitants all contribute to background noise. In recent years, sounds from human activities such as shipping, seismic surveys and seabed drilling have increased the ambient level in certain areas. It is likely that the deployment of Wave Energy…

In the WESE project scope, Work Package 3 aims to model electromagnetic and acoustic fields, as well as marine dynamics, in sites where Wave Energy Converters (WEC) are operating in real sea conditions in Spanish and Portuguese coastal waters, representing different types of technology, sites and, therefore, types of marine environments (onshore, nearshore and offshore) that can potentially be…

Over the past few years the increase in human population worldwide has changed the underwater soundscape. Loud, new, unfamiliar noises are being introduced to the environment, impacting many species of animals. This has particularly harmful effects on marine organisms that rely heavily on their sense of hearing, such as harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). Harbour porpoises use…

Wisniewska et al.
Shipping is the dominant marine anthropogenic noise source in the world's oceans, yet we know little about vessel encounter rates, exposure levels and behavioural reactions for cetaceans in the wild, many of which rely on sound for foraging, communication and social interactions. Here, we used animal-borne acoustic tags to measure vessel noise exposure and foraging efforts in seven harbour…

Bosi et al.
Sound is essential for marine life and, as anthropogenic noise in the marine environment increases, the scientific community becomes more aware of its negative impacts on marine organisms. Noise travels long distances underwater, including across national boundaries and jurisdictions and impacts a variety of mobile species. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) represents a useful methodology and…

Continuous anthropogenic noise may exert a significant pressure on the marine environment due to its constancy and extent over vast areas. The aim of these guidelines is to provide a standardized procedure to ensure that the output data from the monitoring are compatible with the HELCOM pre-core indicator ‘Continuous low…

As the focus of renewable energy in the United States turns to offshore wind facility development, there is an increasing need for an understanding of potential noise impacts from this development on marine mammals. Pile-driving of offshore wind turbines produces loud, low frequency sound that can travel great distances and could potentially harm or disturb marine mammals. As a result, a…

This study found ample evidence of vocally active right whales, humpback whales and fin whales and the abundance of detected calls showed patterns of seasonality and inter-annual variation. While, minke whales were not detected at the frequency level of the other species, their presence was confirmed in the study area, especially in waters further offshore. Peak presence in the winter months…

The ocean, which plays an essential role in supporting human life, continues to deteriorate due to anthropogenic underwater noise. This unseen form of pollution is a significant emergent threat to marine and coastal biodiversity. Substantial discussions have occurred on the problem under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) yet further action is needed. The adoption of the Kunming-…

Noise pollution contributes to the global biodiversity crisis, however the consequences of this pollution on anuran diversity patterns are poorly understood. This is especially true of less evident sources of noise like wind farms and highly exploited areas, as in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Here, we evaluated the influence of wind farm noise on anuran assemblages’ diversity at the…

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…

The predicted effect on marine mammals and sea turtles associated with exposure to the underwater sound generated by impact and vibratory pile driving proposed to be conducted during the construction of the US Wind Maryland Offshore Wind Project (the Project) (OCS Lease 0490) were modeled. Parameters of the physical environment at the model location, including bathymetry, sediment properties,…

This chapter examines underwater noise measurements recorded within and outside operating offshore wind farms consisting of 6.3 MW and 8.3 MW turbines, respectively. Each wind farm had multiple hydrophones recording simultaneously with the nearest being located 70–100 m from a turbine, while the furthest was positioned 5 km outside the wind farm. Data were collected over 5 weeks to facilitate…
