Title: MARINE ENERGY
Course: OCEAN POWER, THE BIG UNKNOWN

The oceans have a tremendous amount of energy and are close to many if not most concentrated populations. Ocean energy has the potential of providing a substantial amount of new renewable energy around the world.

 Marine energy or marine power (also sometimes referred to as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy) refers to the movement of water in the world's oceans which creates a vast store of kinetic energy, or energy in motion. Some of this energy can be harnessed to generate electricity to power homes, transport and industries.

This energy is carried by ocean waves , tides , salinity , and ocean temperature differences .

Offshore wind power is not a form of marine energy, as wind power is derived from the wind, even if the wind turbines are placed over water.
