Marine renewable energy (MRE) harnesses energy from the ocean and provides a low-
carbon sustainable energy source for national grids and remote uses. The international …

Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions
between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are …

Resource quantification is vital in developing a tidal stream energy site but challenging in
high energy areas. Drone-based large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) may …

Despite rapid development of marine renewable energy, relatively little is known of the
immediate and future impacts on the surrounding ecosystems. Quantifying the behavior and …

There is uncertainty on the ecological effects of tidal stream turbines. Concerns include
animal collision with turbine blades, disruption of migratory and foraging behaviour …

Understanding the environmental effects of marine energy (ME) devices is fundamental for
their sustainable development and efficient regulation. However, measuring effects is …

Shelf seas comprise approximately 7% of the world's oceans and host enormous economic
activity. Development of energy installations (eg Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs), tidal turbines) …

Detailed information acquired using tracking technology has the potential to provide
accurate pictures of the types of movements and behaviors performed by animals. To date …

We are at a crossroads where many nation states, including the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), are committing to increased electricity production from …
