Dear all, As some of you may know, wave energy buoys are about to be deployed along the Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia coast as part of a feasibility study for commercial generation of electrical power. If these pilot projects are successful, large scale deployments of wave energy buoys will occur along the Pacific Coast (each project could include up to 200 buoys). I am drafting comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission about possible biological impacts of wave energy buoys on marine life. If anyone knows of relevant research about the effects of chronic underwater noise or electromagnetic radiation on marine mammals, or any other potential impacts on marine mammals (especially impacts to migratory movements of whales) from similar types of projects, I would greatly appreciate you sending it to me.
