• Ocean energy will supply electricity, drinking water and other products, creating jobs and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

• Not yet mature technology, but considerable longer term potential

• Overcoming main challenges requires concerted efforts by industry, academia, policy makers.

• Future development will be linked with other sectors, exploiting synergies

• International Collaboration:
