The ocean waves on the water, currents beneath the surface, and winds above the water offers a wealth of energy potential. In the United States, both marine renewable energy (MRE) and offshore wind energy (OSW) industries are still developing, but they hold significant promise as reliable forms of low-carbon energy that can benefit coastal communities and power the emerging Blue Economy which refers to the sustainable use of ocean resources.
