Water Energy abounds all over the world. Marine Renewable Energy can be derived through the following methods: Tides, Waves, Tidal (Marine) Current, Thermal Gradient, and Salinity. Below are some resources to look into to understand wave energy better and to find companies and organizations dealing with this industry. It is encouraging to see the many breakthroughs in technology in the past few years to help bring this form of energy being used by countries throughout the world.
