Marine and Hydrokinetic Geospatial Data Tools

Publicly accessible License

This NREL resource provides a suite of geospatial data layers and web based tools that support marine and hydrokinetic energy research. The tools include interactive maps of wave and tidal resources, potential deployment sites, existing infrastructure, and environmental constraints. Users can overlay multiple layers to assess site suitability, access shapefile downloads for offline analysis, and link to related reports. The geospatial data tools enable developers, policymakers, and researchers to evaluate the technical potential and environmental considerations of marine and hydrokinetic projects at regional and national scales.
