TY - CHAP TI - An Introduction to Marine Renewable Energy AU - Sheilds, M T2 - Humanity and the Sea: Marine Renewable Energy Technology and Environmental Interactions AB - It is now widely recognized that there is a need for long-term secure and suitable sustainable forms of energy. Renewable energy from the marine environment, in particular renewable energy from tidal currents, wave and wind, can help achieve a sustainable energy future. Our understanding of environmental impacts and suitable mitigation methods associated with extracting renewable energy from the marine environment is improving all the time and it is essential that we distinguish between natural and anthropocentric drivers and impacts.This is a chapter from Humanity and the Sea: Marine Renewable Energy Technology and Environmental Interactions.
