Prompted by simple gravitational pulls, the movement of natural flowing water holds the potential to create an amount of electrical energy many times greater than what is consumed worldwide today. This is emission and by-product free, sustainable, predictable, and indigenously sourced energy.

The links that follow provide further detail on the potential of marine renewable energy resources around the world, the emerging marine renewable energy industry as a whole, and issues of science and engineering related to the industry.
