OES-Environmental (the task formerly known as Annex IV) was established by the International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems in 2010 to examine environmental effects of marine renewable energy (MRE) development around the world. OES-Environmental is mobilizing information and the international MRE community to coordinate research that can progress the industry in an environmentally sustainable manner. More information about OES-Environmental is available here.
