Many fish species are threatened worldwide by overfishing, contamination, coastal
development, climate change, and other anthropogenic activities. Marine renewable energy …

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

Ocean energy extraction is on the rise. While tides are the most predictable amongst marine
renewable resources, turbulent and complex flows still challenge reliable tidal stream …

Shallow coastal areas are important nurseries for larvae and juveniles of many fish species.
However, empirical data on small pelagic fish (SPF) in such regions are lacking, 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 …

In the dynamic environments targeted for marine renewable energy extraction, such as tidal
channels, the natural distribution of fish and behavioural impacts of marine renewable …

As the tidal energy industry looks to expand into commercial-scale array installations,
uncertainty in methodology and outcome for environmental impact assessments can …

Driven by the necessity to decarbonize energy sources, many countries are targeting tidal
stream environments for power generation. However, these areas can act as foraging …

Many key ecological dynamics such as biomass distributions are only detectable on a fine
spatiotemporal scale. Autonomous data collection with Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) …

Abstract Changes in animal movement and behaviour at fine scales (tens of metres) in
immediate proximity to tidal stream turbine structures are largely unknown and have …
