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.

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…

Bat Conservation International
More than half of the 154 known bat species across North America are at risk of severe population decline in the next 15 years, according to the first-ever State of the Bats Report published by the North American Bat Conservation Alliance (NABCA), a multinational coalition from the United States, Mexico, and Canada, including Bat Conservation International. Experts believe that as many…

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…

There are concerns about the short- and long-term effects on cetaceans from offshore construction using pile-driving. Gravity-base foundations and anchored floating turbines are alternative installation methods that may have less impact on cetaceans. In this study, we investigated the response of dolphins (Tursiops truncatus and Lagenorhynchus albirostris) and harbour porpoise (…

South Fork Wind, LLC’s (Lessee’s or SFW’s) approval to conduct activities under the Construction and Operations Plan (COP) for the South Fork Wind Farm Project (Project) is subject to the conditions described in this document. The Department of the Interior (DOI) reserves the right to amend these conditions or impose additional conditions authorized by law or regulation on any future approvals…

Rothermel et al.
Seasonal migrations are key to the production and persistence of marine fish populations but movements within shelf migration corridors or, “flyways”, are poorly known. Atlantic sturgeon and striped bass, two critical anadromous species, are known for their extensive migrations along the US Mid-Atlantic Bight. Seasonal patterns of habitat selection have been described within spawning rivers,…

This booklet is a compilation of educational research briefs developed as part of the U.S. Offshore Wind Synthesis of Environmental Effects Research (SEER) project. The topics for the briefs focus on the environmental effects of offshore wind energy and were chosen through extensive outreach …

Wind power generated 8.3% of the United States’ total electricity in 2020 and this number is projected to grow as billions of dollars are invested in new wind projects annually. Wildlife mortality is cited as a primary concern regarding the proliferation of wind power. While many studies have investigated bird and bat interactions with wind power, little is known about the interactions between…

European Scalable Offshore Renewable Energy Source (EU-SCORES) is a highly ambitious EU-funded project aimed at demonstrating and unlocking the large-scale potential of multi-source, offshore renewable energy farms across different European sea basins. This will be achieved through two highly comprehensive and impactful demonstrations: (1) An offshore solar PV system in Belgium co-located with…

Sanderson et al.
Tidal stream energy is a renewable energy resource that might be developed to offset carbon emissions. A tidal energy demonstration (TED) area has been designated in Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, for testing and installing marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbines. Regulations require quantification of the potential for MHK turbine installations to harm local populations of marine animals. Here, we…

Müller et al.
Hydrokinetic turbines such as vertical axis turbines (VATs) may provide decentralised, clean, sustainable energy for remote communities that lack access to the main energy grid or renewable resources. As traditional hydropower adversely alters aquatic ecosystems, it is essential to evaluate the environmental consequences of deploying VATs in riverine ecosystems to meet current and future…

Hein et al.
In accordance with the West Virginia Public Service Commission (WVPSC) and with guidance from the Technical Advisory Committee, which included members from the WVPSC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, and Edison Mission Energy, we initiated a study in July 2012 to test the effectiveness of an operational mitigation experiment to reduce bat fatalities…

Uriarte et al.
The ocean energy development is one of the main pillars of the EU Blue Growth strategy. However, while the technological development of devices is growing fast, their potential environmental effects are not well-known. The nascent status of the Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) sector and Wave Energy (WE) in particular, yields many unknowns about its potential environmental pressures and impacts,…

Rezaei et al.
Renewable energy sectors have been rapidly growing over the last three decades due to the environmental concerns regarding fossil fuels and increasing demand of energy by human. Among those, offshore wind farms are one of the most attractive and promising technologies for clean energy production due to the strong and steady offshore winds, less turbine fatigue, less visual and space…

Purpose This land-based wind energy siting resource was created by the U.S. Department of Energy Wind Energy Technologies Office’s WINDExchange initiative and presents foundational information about land-based utility-scale wind energy that local decision makers can use when making community decisions about wind energy development. Consolidated, accessible, and easy to understand,…

Bats and Wind Energy Cooperative (BWEC)
Understanding the causes of why bats approach and interact with wind turbines may provide more efficient means of monitoring and mitigating impacts (Cryan and Barclay 2009). Mortality monitoring continues to be a useful method to quantify the impact of wind turbines on bats. However, searching for carcasses can be expensive to implement, and the results lack the temporal scale necessary to…

Jakubowska et al.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of artificial magnetic fields on the behaviour of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae. Individuals (from the eyed egg stage) were exposed to a static magnetic field (SMF) of 10 mT or a low-frequency alternating (electromagnetic) field (EMF) of 1 mT, whereas larvae in the control treatment were reared under a natural geomagnetic…

Williamson et al.
There is uncertainty on the ecological effects of tidal stream turbines. Concerns include animal collision with turbine blades, disruption of migratory and foraging behaviour, attraction of animals to prey aggregating around turbines, or conversely displacement of animals from preferred habitat. This study used concurrent ecological and physical measurements to show the predictability …

The annual growth of global energy demand and the associated environmental impacts (EIs) has an important role in the large sustainable and green global energy transition. Renewable energy systems have been attracting substantial economic, environmental, and technical attention throughout the last decade, while some have been in the market for almost a century. However, even renewable energy…

The ocean energy development is one of the main pillars of the EU Blue Growth strategy. However, while the technological development of devices is growing fast, their potential environmental effects are not wellknown. The SafeWAVE project aims to improve the knowledge on the potential environmental impacts from Wave Energy projects. In the project scope, Work Package 2 aims to collect,…
