Marine and Hydrokinetic Resource Maps and Data
This resource page consolidates maps and datasets for marine and hydrokinetic energy resources. Users can access regional and national assessments of wave energy, tidal stream energy, ocean currents, and in-stream river power. The datasets include spatially gridded resource intensity, technical potential estimates, and physical site characteristics. The resource supports research and development by providing baseline information for feasibility studies, resource assessments, and technology design for wave and current energy converters.
