FORCE Site Marine Operations Lessons Learned
March 21, 2019 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
In recent years, marine operators in the Bay of Fundy have attempted dozens of operations at the FORCE test site in the Minas Passage, from research surveys to instrument packages to electrical infrastructure to turbine deployment. Through both failure and success, these operations have yielded critical lessons for all teams involved and contributed to a valuable understanding of the approaches, methods, vessels, and equipment best suited to specific goals.
Webinar Series
Introduction to the Fisheries Act and Species at Risk Act (SARA)
December 11, 2018 1:00pm – 2:00pm AST
This is part one of a two-part webinar series focused on the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Ecosystem Management Branch – Fisheries Protection Program, Species at Risk Management Division, and Protected Areas and Conservation Planning. A representative from each division will be available to lead the webinar and answer some questions.

Measuring the Acoustic Detection Range of Large Whales from Autonomous Platforms to Improve an Acoustic Whale Alert System
October 25, 2018 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
There is significant concern about the risk that offshore marine industries pose to endangered whales. One mitigation strategy is to use autonomous platforms (e.g., ocean gliders and buoys) equipped with a near real-time passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) system to alert ocean users to whale presence. To effectively use passive acoustics to monitor marine mammals, an understanding of the area over which the monitoring system can detect each species of interest is absolutely critical.

Examining Cable Strumming in Tidal Flows
September 20, 2018 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The potential ongoing cost of cabling and moorings is a major risk for the nascent tidal energy sector. The sector is aware that cabling failures are documented to be the most significant insurance risk for the commercially-viable offshore wind industry. Floating tidal turbine developers have unanswered questions about the longevity of their power cables and moorings which are subject to turbulent tidal flows which can induce wear, corrosion, fatigue, and vortex induced vibration (VIV) distinct from offshore environments.
Webinar Series
Acoustic Assessment of Fish Presence and Vertical Distribution at the FORCE Tidal Turbine Test Site in Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy
August 23, 2018 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The effects on fish of large tidal in-stream energy conversion (TISEC) devices deployed in very high flow environments (>2 m/s) are generally unknown.

Going with the Flow, While Mapping and Predicting Future Flow Speeds
June 21, 2018 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The tide is one of the most accurately predictable natural phenomena. Following standard practice accurate long-term predictions of water levels are generated using harmonic analysis. However, when applied to tidal currents harmonic analysis does not accurately capture turbulence, eddies, and large flood-ebb asymmetries.
