One significant challenge for the tidal turbine industry is ensuring that their devices do not cause harm to the environment. Black Rock Tidal Power (BRTP) has a mandate to demonstrate that their turbine design is not causing harm within the region of the turbine planned for the FORCE testing site in the Bay of Fundy. Other researchers collaborating with BRTP are developing methods to sense marine life activity in the high-flow regions that will be used by tidal turbines. Sensing includes Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) and detection/tracking of acoustic tags implanted in marine life. Dalhousie's Institute for Big Data Analytics. will work with BRTP on developing data analytics that will supply an answer to the company problem. The project will consist of two main parts, (1) the Data Acquisition and Integration part, and (2) the Data Analysis part. In Data Acquisition, we will first determine what non-acoustic, environment-relevant data is the most useful for environmental impact assessment. In the Data Analytics part, we will develop the models expressing the relationship between the anthropogenic noise levels and the quantitative measures of presence of marine species for which data is available. This project will develop a key component of the required process for proper environmental assessment, which will be used immediately for the FORCE project and other related projects. The new capability will enable the larger tidal turbine development project to proceed and can also be used as leverage to encourage collaboration with other tidal energy developers and to ease approval for new projects.

潮汐涡轮机行业面临的一项重大挑战是确保其设备不会对潮汐涡轮机造成伤害 环境。 Black Rock Tidal Power (BRTP) 的任务是证明他们的涡轮机设计不 在芬迪湾 FORCE 测试场计划使用的涡轮机区域内造成损害。其他 研究人员与 BRTP 合作正在开发感知高流量海洋生物活动的方法 潮汐涡轮机将使用的区域。传感包括无源声学监测 (PAM) 和 检测/跟踪植入海洋生物中的声学标签。达尔豪斯大数据分析研究所。将要 与 BRTP 合作开发数据分析，为公司问题提供答案。项目 将由两个主要部分组成，（1）数据采集和集成部分，以及（2）数据分析部分。在 数据采集​​，我们首先确定哪些非声学、环境相关数据最有用 环境影响评价。在数据分析部分，我们将开发表达以下内容的模型： 人为噪声水平与海洋存在的定量测量之间的关系 有可用数据的物种。该项目将开发所需流程的关键组成部分 适当的环境评估，将立即用于 FORCE 项目和其他相关项目 项目。新能力将使更大的潮汐涡轮机开发项目能够继续进行，也可以 用作鼓励与其他潮汐能开发商合作并简化新项目审批的杠杆 项目。
