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.

Linnerud et al.
Global investments in offshore wind energy are expected to escalate over the coming decades, fueled by improvements in technology, declining costs, and increasing political support. The complexity, scale, and location of these developments make international ownership and export of electricity more feasible. We examine how the general public's acceptance of wind energy will be affected by a…

DNV AS has carried out an Environmental benthos survey at the Equinor-operated wind farm Hywind Scotland, situated 25 km off the coast of Peterhead in Scotland, UK. There are still uncertainties regarding the potential environmental impact from a floating wind park due to the floating technology being a relative novel development solution. Using the world’s first operational floating offshore…

Environmental impact assessment and regular environmental monitoring of marine life are prerequisites for the construction, operation, and decommissioning of offshore wind farms (OWFs). Molecular methods such as metagenomics, quantitative PCR or metabarcoding, are increasingly being considered as a possible complement or alternative to currently used marine baseline and monitoring methods,…

Greaves et al.
In the year of the UK’s presidency of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, huge momentum is growing towards focusing ambitions for the UK and globally to deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions. The UK Climate Change Committee’s Sixth Carbon Budget [1] identifies a pathway for completely decarbonising electricity by 2035, despite electrification of the energy system as a whole requiring…

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…

Willmott et al.
Knowledge of the movement and behaviour of birds and bats around turbines in the offshore marine environment is critical for assessing the environmental impacts of offshore wind developments in the eastern USA. To address the problem of gathering high-quality, long-term data on these species in this remote environment, we designed a multi-sensor system that was recently deployed for 6 months…

Loring et al.
Automated radio telemetry systems consist of radio tags (small transmitters attached to birds, bats, or insects) and stations (receivers with antennas that record signals from “tagged” organisms within detection range). The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (‘Motus’; www.motus.org) is an international collaborative research network that uses cooperative…

Brussa et al.
Mitigation of climate change requires consistent actions toward the reduction of emissions from the energy sector: in the last years, renewable energy technologies, such as wind power, have become a cost-effective option to pursue the transition to low emission systems for power generation. Offshore wind energy can provide access to additional wind resources, also overcoming some issues…

Bailey et al.
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…

Salisbury et al.
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…

For generations, the Gulf of Maine has been an area of active marine uses, including commercial and recreational fishing across a multitude of species and gear types, representing businesses from the three coastal states in the region, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. In 2022, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management began a process to facilitate the development of offshore wind energy in…

This study investigates the conflicts between decarbonization by renewable energy use and local environmental preservation. It also proposes the policy implication for the introduction of offshore wind turbines in Japan. In 2020, the Japanese government declared its goal to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Subsequently, the interest in renewable energy, such as offshore wind…

Lloret et al.
As offshore wind energy expands in Europe, maritime planners increasingly need to consider the potential effects of these activities on the different types of marine protected areas (MPAs), including Natura 2000 sites. The aim of this article is to critically review the initial development of offshore wind energy inside and/or in the vicinity of Mediterranean Natura 2000 sites and other types…
