Powering clean oceans

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy monitoring supports offshore wind, wave, and tidal projects by characterizing environmental conditions and impacts. Programs measure waves, currents, turbidity, noise proxies, and ecological indicators to optimize siting and operations. Data ensure minimal ecosystem disturbance and inform permitting and adaptive management.
Wind farm renewable energy in the ocean

Offshore renewable energy projects, such as wind and tidal systems, interact with marine environments. 

Renewable energy installations rely on accurate ocean data for planning and environmental safety. Measuring temperature, salinity, and currents helps engineers optimize turbine placement and assess ecological impacts. These observations guide compliance, reduce risks to marine habitats, and advance clean energy solutions for a sustainable future.

Renewable Energy Risks

Challenges in Offshore Renewable Monitoring and Why Accuracy Matters

Offshore renewable projects face harsh conditions, shifting currents, and sediment plumes that complicate environmental compliance and structural safety. Turbidity and salinity affect foundation stability and corrosion, while temperature and nutrients influence ecosystem health. Reliable met-ocean data is critical for siting, operations, and adaptive management. Sea-Bird Scientific instruments deliver precise, long-term measurements of physical and chemical parameters, ensuring defensible data for sustainable energy development.
