A Review of Modeling Approaches for Understanding and Monitoring the Environmental Effects of Marine Renewable Energy

Kate E. Buenau et al.

Summary: Understanding the environmental effects of marine energy devices is crucial for their sustainable development and regulation. Numerical modeling is a powerful tool for estimating effects and quantifying risks. Current models mainly focus on oceanographic system changes and underwater noise, while models for habitat change and marine animal displacement are limited. Collision risk and species response to electromagnetic fields are still in the early stages of development and require more observational data.

Triton Field Trials: Promoting Consistent Environmental Monitoring Methodologies for Marine Energy Sites

Samantha L. Eaves et al.

Summary: Uncertainty surrounding the potential environmental impacts of marine energy (ME) has resulted in extensive and expensive environmental monitoring requirements for ME deployments. Currently, there is a lack of standardized methodologies for data collection, hindering the use of previously collected data to inform new ME project permitting efforts. To address this issue, Triton Field Trials (TFiT) was created to explore ways to promote more consistent environmental data collection and enable data transferability across ME device types and locations. Through reviewing documents from previous ME projects and research studies, TFiT identified priority research areas and associated promising technologies. Thirteen potential field sites were assessed to determine suitable locations for testing monitoring technologies. This introductory paper provides an overview of how priority research areas and testing locations were identified for TFiT activities.

Minimizing Ecological Impacts of Marine Energy Lighting

Caroline E. Reilly et al.

Summary: Marine energy has the potential to become an important renewable energy source in the U.S., but it is crucial to address the potential ecological impacts, particularly from the introduction of light. This review discusses the requirements and regulations for marine energy installations and provides guidance on lighting design choices to minimize environmental consequences. Further research on animal responses to light and technological advancements can inform future guidelines for deploying marine energy devices.

Capabilities of an Acoustic Camera to Inform Fish Collision Risk with Current Energy Converter Turbines

Garrett J. Staines et al.

Summary: A study tested the use of acoustic cameras to monitor the interaction between current energy converters (CECs) and fish. The results showed that the cameras were able to detect targets and observe blade strikes in turbid water. However, the difficulty of distinguishing small fish from debris in high-energy turbid rivers remains a limitation of this technology.

The Environmental Justice Movement as a Model Politics of Risk

Roni Hirsch

Summary: Risk holds unique significance in today's democratic politics due to the challenges of rising inequality, neoliberalism, and systemic racism. The article divides risk into two political models – technocratic logic of risk allocation and forensic logic of risk attribution – which have had pervasive effects on the transformed welfare state and challenged the logic of privatization. Risk-based movements, particularly from the political margins, play a key role in promoting a new political form founded on risk attribution. The article focuses on the exemplary case of the American environmental justice movement in the 1980s-90s, which reframed social justice around demands for accountability, equitable risk distribution, and broad participation in decision-making.

Marine Energy Environmental Permitting and Compliance Costs

William J. Peplinski et al.

Summary: This paper examines the environmental compliance and permitting costs for 19 marine energy projects in the U.S. over the past 20 years. It found that studies for tidal projects are more expensive than those for wave projects and the reported project costs' range tends to be wider than predicted. On average, environmental permitting compliance accounts for 14.6% of the full project costs for the projects analyzed.
