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

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 response to the issues identified by the sector and the questions raised by citizens concerning the environmental integration of marine renewable energies in France, the COME3T approach aims to provide elements of expertise, synthesis and recommendations based on a national network of experts. In this bulletin, 3 experts have worked together to define the reef effect and its consequences on fish populations and all mobile species.

This document proposes a comprehensive list of quantitative and qualitative analysis criteria to classify the sensors technologies. This document highlight the theoretical and practical advantages and limitations of each technique, making a clear distinction between the installation phase and the operating phase.

This report documents the outcome of the verification of the deployment design tools.

This report describes the compilation of required data inputs for the various validation scenarios. Each scenario is characterised through a set of project data, inherent to the technology as well as meteocean conditions and other location related data. Further engagement with the validation leaders is ensuring that the data is adequately formatted for the purposes of running the DTOcean+ tools.

This deliverable consists of two parts, first a legal guide to environmental assessment for floating wind farm projects, then in a second part, a study on the legal framework for the spatial planning of floating wind farms: The place of environmental assessment

Excel database containing the information collected for the atlas (45 sources for the French maritime façades + 24 on a global scale) and shapefiles for the cartographic representation of the available data

Deliverable D4.2 “Stage Gate Tools – alpha version” of the DTOceanPlus project includes the details of the Stage Gate Design Tool, and it represents the result of the work developed during task T4.2 of the project. This tool is an application of a stage gate process which is used in research and industry to provide structure to the technology development process. This approach supports the R&D pathway towards producing reliable and cost-effective ocean energy sub-systems, devices and arrays.
