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.

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,…

Federal and state governments have developed ambitious goals for offshore wind projects. While Maine wants to take part in this trend, it has passed a moratorium on offshore wind projects in state waters. Considering this ban, pressure to develop offshore wind energy, and potential impacts of such projects on local ecology and habitats, Maine needs to develops a strong voice in offshore wind…

Unlike other parts of the world, Mexico has low ocean current speeds (~1 m/s). The Cozumel Channel is an example of a site where such turbines could be installed since average current speeds of the Yucatán Current yearlong are situated in the range of 0.88-1.04 m/s. In order to take advantage of the existing conditions at Cozumel, the development of a hydrokinetic turbine became the focus of…

Research on potentially adverse effects of wind farms is an expanding field of study and often focuses on large raptors, such as golden eagles, largely because of their life history traits and extensive habitat requirements. These features render them sensitive to either fatality (collision with turbine blades) or functional habitat loss (avoidance through wariness of turbines). Simplistically…

Wind energy presents many advantages, but windfarms pose risks to wildlife and habitats. We hypothesized that habitat changes caused by the impacts of windfarm construction and wildfire would alter the spatial ecology of Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata (Schneider 1792)). In a space-for-time study design, we outfitted 28 turtles with radio transmitters in 3 treatments (Control n=10, Windfarm n…

The National Wildlife Federation released this report, which explores the challenges and opportunities facing offshore wind power in the United States. Some of the key takeaways from the paper are the positive aspects of offshore wind development on powering homes, growing jobs, and protecting wildlife through proper siting. The report notes that the offshore wind industry could grow even…

Lamb et al.
Located at the shortest overland route between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, Mexico's Tehuantepec Isthmus is a globally important migratory corridor for many terrestrial bird species. The Pacific coast of the Isthmus also contains a significant wetland complex that supports large multi-species aggregations of non-breeding waterbirds during the boreal winter. In recent years,…

New York State Offshore Wind Master Plan: Analysis of Multibeam Echo Sounder and Benthic Survey Data
Physical and biological characterization of the seafloor is critically important for future offshore wind development in the New York Offshore Study Area (OSA) and, while full site characterization of any particular areas proposed for development will be performed at the project development stage, improved understanding of the OSA’s characteristics will facilitate New York State’s Offshore… - Report:

Mitigating anthropogenic climate change involves deployments of renewable energy worldwide, including wind energy, which can cause significant impacts on flying animals. Bats have highly contrasted responses to wind turbines (WT), either through attraction increasing collision risks, or avoidance leading to habitat losses. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown despite the…
