对于海洋能源场所的环境和生态监测，综合仪表组件是一个有吸引力的选择，因为它们可以支持一系列传感器，其外形紧凑，足以应对高能波和海流造成的操作限制。在这里，我们详细介绍了这样一个系统的架构和性能--可适应监测组件--它支持主动声学、被动声和光学传感，以量化海洋能源地点的物理环境和动物的存在。我们描述了有线和自主部署，并将自主操作模式中相对有限的系统功能与更广泛的功能进行了对比，包括由岸上电力或从波浪中就地收集电力提供的实时数据处理。在这些部署中，我们描述了传感器性能、使用多波束声纳和光学相机数据的生物目标分类算法的结果，以及限制生物污垢和腐蚀的措施的有效性。在这些经验的基础上，我们讨论了对集成仪器的示范要求，使用这种系统监测海洋能源转换器的环境和生态影响的可能的操作概念，以及在开发过程中固有的工程权衡。总体而言，我们发现，集成仪器可以提供强大的能力来观察罕见事件，管理收集的数据量，并减轻对海洋动物行为的潜在偏见。这些能力可能与更广泛的海洋学界有关，也可能与新兴的海洋能源部门有关。
Integrated instrumentation packages are an attractive option for environmental and ecological monitoring at marine energy sites, as they can support a range of sensors in a form factor compact enough for the operational constraints posed by energetic waves and currents. Here we present details of the architecture and performance for one such system—the Adaptable Monitoring Package—which supports active acoustic, passive acoustic, and optical sensing to quantify the physical environment and animal presence at marine energy sites. we describe cabled and autonomous deployments and contrast the relatively limited system capabilities in an autonomous operating mode with more expansive capabilities, including real-time data processing, afforded by shore power or in situ power harvesting from waves. Across these deployments, we describe sensor performance, outcomes for biological target classification algorithms using data from multibeam sonars and optical cameras, and the effectiveness of measures to limit biofouling and corrosion. On the basis of these experiences, we discuss the demonstrated requirements for integrated instrumentation, possible operational concepts for monitoring the environmental and ecological effects of marine energy converters using such systems, and the engineering trade-offs inherent in their development. Overall, we find that integrated instrumentation can provide powerful capabilities for observing rare events, managing the volume of data collected, and mitigating potential bias to marine animal behavior. These capabilities may be as relevant to the broader oceanographic community as they are to the emerging marine energy sector.
