Marine energy refers to the renewable energy derived from the ocean and its various phenomena. It encompasses a range of technologies and resources that harness the energy produced by ocean currents, waves, tides, thermal gradients, and other marine processes. The primary types of marine energy include: 1. **Wave Energy**: Energy generated from the surface motion of waves. Technologies often involve devices like oscillating water columns, point absorbers, and oscillating buoys that convert wave motion into electricity.
