The offer price represents an 8.9% discount to the last trading price of A$5.60 on 6 August 2013. The proposed placement will strengthen
Norwegian scientists are exploring new ways to protect seafloor volcanic vents that are rich with new species. Loki’s Castle hydrothermal vents were discovered on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Norway and Greenland in 2008. The five seafloor vents are home for many species with 20 new found during a
Passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals is a growing research theme on both the VENUS and NEPTUNE observatories. U Vic Co-op student Kristen Kanes works with the Ocean Networks Canada Centre for Enterprise and Engagement (ONCCEE) to process passive acoustic data from their technology demonstra
Following a number of public engagement efforts, NOAA Fisheries today announced it is denying the Georgia Aquarium’s request for a permit to import 18 beluga whales from Russia for public display in the United States. NOAA Fisheries based the decision on requirements of the Marine Mammal Protection
HR Wallingford’s noise model within its Hydro-Acoustic Model for Mitigation and Ecological Response (HAMMER) tool has been validated using pin-piling and ambient noise data collected from a boat based hydrophone during the construction of the SeaGen tidal turbine in Strangford Lough, in Northern Ire

The Carbon Trust will now be applying the learning from its world leading work on offshore wind to help China meet its national target to grow its offshore wind capacity at the lowest cost from under 0.5GW today to 5GW by 2015 and to 30GW by 2030. The UK, with over 3GW installed, currently leads [&h
Eco-friendly electricity from wave energy: in a Bosch laboratory, a first demonstrator model shows how wave energy can be converted into electricity. A research network made up of four companies and two universities aims to establish sustainable power generation along the world’s coastlines. Until J
Recently the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) reached an impressive milestone: acquiring more than 1 million hours (2 million records) of wave data. That equates to approximately 114 years’ worth of data. These data were collected mostly in areas where intense mariti
A shellfish aquaculture study regarding co-location with offshore wind farms (OWFs) has recently been completed for the Shellfish Association of Great Britain (SAGB) by a Project Team led by Aquafish Solutions Ltd, according to TheFishSite. Originally developed by the Sea Fish Industry Authority and
Reducing costs for offshore wind generated electricity is one of the major challenges in the European energy market. The novelty about the jointly developed concept for reducing costs during installation, from the Bugsier-, Reederei- und Bergungs- GmbH & Co. KG and Wärtsilä is, that the tasks for tr
U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King today announced that the University of Maine, along with partners Maine Maritime Academy, Sandia National Laboratories, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, received a $983,997 grant from the National Science Foundation to design, develop, and cons
