“…Er zijn meerdere studies gedaan naar de veranderingen van hydrodynamische processen door WECs (O'Brien et al, 2015;Copping et al, 2014;Contardo, 2018;Tomey-Bozo et al,2019). Aangenomen wordt dat het effect van verandering van de golfslag bij kleine aantallen Marine Renewable Energy (MRE)-installations (NL: hernieuwbare mariene energie installaties) minimaal is of zelfs wegvalt binnen de natuurlijke variatie, maar meetwaarden uit het veld zijn nodig bij toepassing van grootschalige sets aan MREs om dit te onderbouwen (Copping & Hemery, 2020).…”

“…De effecten van elektromagnetische straling door de bekabeling van WECs is nog niet voldoende bekend of ingeschat (Witt et al, 2012;Haikonen et al, 2013), terwijl Copping & Hemery (2020) concluderen dat effecten van elektromagnetische straling (door elektrakabels) van de huidige kleine en enkelvoudige WECs op benthische marine organismen waarschijnlijk minimaal zullen zijn.…”

“…In de literatuur zijn een aantal publicaties beschikbaar over het potentiële effect van de introductie van hard substraat door WECs en deze melden vaak positieve effecten en soms negatieve effecten, of een combinatie van beide (Grecian et al, 2010); Probert & Mitchell, 1983;, Witt et al, 2012;Nall et al, 2017;, Haikonen et al, 2013;, Copping & Hemery, 2020).…”

“…Het aantal toepassingen is nog beperkt. Op dit moment zijn er nog geen full-scale operationele toepassingen van deze systemen(Copping & Hemery, 2020). Er is nog weinig over eventuele effecten bekend, waardoor er ook nog een grote mate van onzekerheid is onder onderzoekers, regelgevers en stakeholders overde effecten van WECs op het ecosysteem.…”

Tidal streams, fish, and seabirds: Understanding the linkages between mobile predators, prey, and hydrodynamics

et al. 2022

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 hotspots for marine top predators, such as seabirds. Thus, it is important to understand the ecological interactions influencing predator behavior and distribution in these areas, to determine the potential ecological implications of marine renewable devices. This study used concurrent observations of foraging seabirds, physical hydrodynamics, and prey presence across a tidal stream environment, before and after the installation of a commercial turbine array close to the island of Stroma, Scotland. There were three main findings: First, benthic foraging seabirds showed a clear preference for certain sections around Stroma where sandeels were detected, while pelagic foraging seabirds were seen all around Stroma. Second, there was a positive effect of water velocity on the number of pelagic foragers and common guillemots. Third, there was a positive effect of the presence of fish schools on the number of pelagic seabirds and common guillemots, in both the same and the previous transects. Thus, it is possible that seabirds target areas of predictable food sources during periods where prey might be easily accessed (e.g., periods of fast flows). Given the difference in the distribution between seabird categories, it is likely that marine renewable devices will impact each category differently. We conclude that any impact on sandbank locations, sandeels preferred habitat, due to the presence of tidal turbines is likely to alter the distribution of benthic foraging seabirds. For pelagic foraging seabirds and common guillemot, changes in prey presence and accessibility (depth and level of aggregation/disaggregation) will have a stronger effect on seabird presence. This study highlights the need to include concurrent physical and biological data when assessing the ecological impacts of tidal turbines.

Science Priorities for Offshore Wind and Fisheries Research in the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf Ecosystem: Perspectives from Scientists at the National Marine Fisheries Service

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Offshore wind development (OWD) is set to expand rapidly in the United States as a component of the nation's effort to combat climate change. Offshore wind development in the United States is slated to begin in the Greater Atlantic region, where it is expected to interact with ocean ecology, human dimensions, fisheries data collections, and fisheries management. Understanding these interactions is key to ensuring the coexistence of offshore wind energy with sustainable fisheries and a healthy marine ecosystem. These anticipated interactions compelled the authors, all fisheries scientists or managers at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries who are actively engaged in offshore wind science to identify scientific research priorities for OWD in the Northeast U.S.
