This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

… Effects of noise from seismic surveys on marine mammals need to be understood so that they can be appropriately mitigated. This study examined effects of large airgun arrays (79-110 l) on a variety of marine mammal species in the waters of British Columbia and Washington at long distances (1 to > 70 km). … detection, technical constraints limit their usefulness. Scheduling surveys around seasonal distribution of species of concern, limiting periods of exposure, and routing airguns to ensure …
