Anthropogenic underwater noise impacts have become a hot topic for environmental
managers and regulators in Europe and beyond. Sounds from human activity at sea include …

Over the last few decades, the offshore wind energy industry has expanded its scope from
turbines mounted on foundations driven into the seafloor and standing in less than 60 m of …

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

The current study investigated the effects of different strength Electromagnetic Field (EMF)
exposure (250 µT, 500 µT, 1000 µT) on the commercially important decapod, edible crab …

Abstract From the Habitat Directive to the recent Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the
conservation status of cetaceans in European water has been of concern for over two …

Sound provides animals with a means of rapid, directional, and long-distance
communication. It also provides animals with a “gestalt” view of their environment by giving …

Marine renewable energy development raised concerns over the impact of underwater
noise. Here we assess the acoustic impacts of an operating tidal current turbine (Paimpol …

Subsea power cables cause electromagnetic fields (EMFs) into the marine environment.
Elasmobranchs (rays, skates, sharks) are particularly sensitive to EMFs as they use …

The underwater sound emitted during the operation of the Atlantis AR1500 turbine, a 1.5
MW three bladed horizontal axis tidal-stream turbine, was measured in the Pentland Firth …

Offshore renewable energy facilities transmit electricity to shore through submarine power
cables. Electromagnetic field emissions (EMFs) are generated from the transmission of …
