ENVIROMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Potential environmental considerations for the development of wave energy include the following:
1, Positive or negative impacts on marine habitat (depending on the nature of additional submerged surfaces, above-water platforms, and changes in the seafloor)
2, Toxic releases from leaks or accidental spills of liquids used in those systems with working hydraulic fluids;
3, Visual and noise impacts (device-specific, with considerable variability in visible freeboard height and noise generation above and below the water surface);
4, Conflict with other sea space users, such as commercial shipping and recreational boating
