Could the famously predictable tides provide reliable power to coastal communities? What if the same waves that induce queasiness made aquaculture more productive? The UNH-led Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC) is developing the technology and skills that will unlock the power of the sea as a renewable source of energy. A new $12 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will advance these efforts by funding research, facilities and workforce development for the marine energy industry. “There’s a lot of energy in the ocean — it’s abundant and renewable.” “There’s a lot of energy in the ocean — it’s abundant and renewable,” says AMEC director Martin Wosnik, professor of mechanical and ocean engineering at UNH. “We think we can harness some of that energy in a reasonably...
