Entanglement Evidence Base

The evidence base for entanglement includes 10 key documents from marine renewable energy, wind energy, and other analogous industries to aid understanding of this interaction. Additional information on entanglement can be found in the 2024 State of the Science (Chapter 3), the 2020 State of the Science Report (Chapter 8), and the Tethys Knowledge Base.
