Marine Energy

Marine energy or marine power (also sometimes cited as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy) refers to the energy carried by ocean waves, tides, salinity, and ocean temperature differences. The movement of water within the world's oceans creates an enormous store of mechanical energy, or energy in motion. A number of this energy will be harnessed to come up with electricity to power homes, transport and industries. The term marine energy encompasses both wave power i.e. power from surface waves, and tidal power i.e. obtained from the K.E. of enormous bodies of moving water. Offshore wind generation isn't a style of marine energy, as wind generation springs from the wind, whether or not the wind turbines are placed over water.
