The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide federal funding to H.T. Harvey & Associates to research and evaluate the potential for marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) devices (stressors) to become artificial reefs or fish aggregating devices, thereby affecting marine wildlife and fish (receptors). Research would be based on analysis of MHK surrogates in tropical, subtropical and temperate U.S. West Coast and Hawaiian coastal waters.
