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.

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.

This report is a comprehensive description of the environmental impacts related to operations and maintenance. All marine operations related to inspection, maintenance and repair lead to environmental impacts due to vessel traffic, noise emissions, handling of mooring lines, anchors and cables, etc.

This document is the second annual report on dissemination and communication activities regarding DTOceanPlus project.

The objective of the ARCWIND project was to assess the feasibility of floating wind farms in deep waters in the Eastern Atlantic.

This deliverable is the second report on dissemination and communication activities, i.e. the end of the project review. It presents all of the activities which have taken place within DTOcean project

Configuration of the ocean model and biogeochemical modules

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, 6 experts contributed to defining the different phenomena that could facilitate the spread of non-indigenous species following the development of offshore wind farms. Several recommendations have been issued to limit the impact on marine ecosystems of the relay effect, ballast water release and the storage of offshore infrastructure in ports.
