The macrofouling qualification and quantification protocols were extracted from 64 public documents (33 scientific articles, 1 book chapter, 22 internal reports, 4 internship reports and 4 theses) presenting studies conducted in France (n = 40), Europe (n = 16) and the world (n = 8).

Monitoring data on biomass (fresh weight in air and water), biovolume, thickness.

This study provides the first maps of the Benthic Invertebrate Biophonies (BIB) at ecologically relevant scales and shows that they can be used to identify, quantify, follow and track benthic activity hot-spots. In combination with biological and ecological information, passive acoustic monitoring using such maps can be a powerful complementary tool for ecological studies, such as the quantification of grazing activity or the evaluation of the efficiency of marine ecologic restoration programs.

This report presents the evaluation according to costs estimation of different maintenance strategies

The Structured Innovation (SI) design tool comprises innovation methodologies that can enhance concept creation and selection in ocean energy systems, enabling a structured approach to address complex ocean energy engineering challenges where design options are numerous. Thus, it can facilitate efficient evolution from concept to commercialisation. The tool is one of a kind beyond the current state-of-the-art, that will enable the transfer and adaptation of the QFD/TRIZ and FMEA methodologies to the ocean energy sector.

The software generated by the DTOcean project automates the design of a feasible array of ocean energy converters for a relevant geographical location and technology type

This document serves as the technical manual of the alpha version of the energy capture module, including all the data requirements, main functions, interfaces and all the pertinent technical details describing the alpha version of the module for the energy capture of an array of wave energy converters or tidal energy converters.

This report presents the project repository for DTOcean is hosted by Joint Research Centre within the SETIS website to ensure long-term exploitation of the tools developed during the project and related documents

In order to make an informed decision on which tools to use for hydrodynamic analysis of array layouts of ocean energy converters, an assessment of capabilities of available tools has been carried out and is presented in this report both for wave energy converter arrays and tidal energy converter arrays

This report collates the materials used throughout the DTOceanPlus project on knowledge exchange and training.
