Other forms of kinetic energy, including wave and tidal power, are at an early stage of development and are therefore not part of the global energy mix.

The International Tsunami Warning System (ITSU) for the Pacific, a permanent ocean service, today has more than 100 seismic and tide stations, operating in 24 Member States in the region.

(d) Expand power infrastructure and increase capacity for energy generation, especially renewable energy which includes, inter alia, hydro power, geothermal, tidal, solar, wind and biomass energy.

means an electricity generation system employing solar, wind, biomass, hydro, tidal, wave, geothermal, energy from waste (including landfill gas or sewage gas) or such other energy sources that are secure and inexhaustible (in the sense that there is no problem of reserve being depleted) as may be mutually agreed by HEC and the Government in the future.

Researchers, industry experts and government agencies recognize that the most common environmental impacts of renewable energy technologies may include reduction of the velocity of marine currents and decrease in the heights of waves resulting from extraction of wave or tidal energy; alteration of benthic habitats and sediment transport or deposition by the construction activities and the continuous presence of marine renewable energy devices; killings or change in the behaviour of fish and mammals from noise and electromagnetic fields; interference with the movement, feeding, spawning and migration paths of fish, mammals and birds, which may get hurt or entangled or may be attracted or hauled out; and release of toxic chemicals as a result of accidental spills and leaks or the accumulation of metals or organic compounds.

The kinetic energy from ocean currents (tidal or permanent currents) is transformed into electrical power using freely flowing, three-bladed horizontal axis turbines.

Such activities include the development of recommended practices for testing and evaluating ocean energy systems, the integration of ocean energy plants into electrical grids for distribution and transmission and the assessment of the environmental effects of and monitoring efforts for ocean wave, tidal and current energy systems (see www.iea-oceans.org). In 2009 the Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement published a wave data catalogue for resource assessment and a report entitled “Ocean energy: global technology developmental status”.

Renewable energy sources included in the law regime are defined as: wind power, solar energy, geothermic energy, hydropower (less than 30 MW), tidal power, biomass, landfill gas and biogas.

Voith Hydro Ocean Current Technologies, Heidenheim, is a Center of Competence for the development of ocean current power stations (tidal and permanent currents).

This includes nuclear, oil, gas, electricity, solar, wind, wave and research.

Emphasizing that the increased use and promotion of new and renewable sources of energy for sustainable development, including solar-thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, wind, hydro, tidal, ocean and geothermal forms, could make a significant contribution towards the achievement of sustainable development and the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals

Six industrial sectors were considered: marine aggregates extraction; cables (telecommunications and power); renewable energy (offshore wind, wave, tidal); oil and gas; fisheries; and recreation.

The second mission concluded that a container alleged to be holding hazardous waste that had been found by local people was in fact a marine mark buoy that had been brought to shore by ocean currents and tides.

Municipal waste comprises wastes produced by the residential, commercial and public service sectors that are collected by local authorities for disposal in a central location for the production of heat and/or power; other includes geothermal, solar, wind, tide/wave/ocean energy, electricity and heat.

Other models of production processes at the population level are routinely used to set management targets and limits to exploitation and to evaluate the effects of alternative management actions.

While many occupations share common titles and functions, they are also quite individual in terms of what specific duties a person is responsible for, which can be attributable to the management structure of the business and the services it aims to provide.
