Global climate change - the growing concern over this threat has led to an increased

interest in the development and research of the renewable energy technologies. In our modern

world, it has proven that the earth’s climate has been changing from warm to cool for over a

million of years. Through such indications, the climate is growing warmer currently. Global

climate change has already had observable effects of our environment today due to greenhouse

gas produced by human activities.

Energy that comes from sources which are continually replenished on human time scales

such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat are called renewable energy

sources. Interest in research and development of renewable energy technologies has increased

due to the growing concern over the threat of global climate change. As the renewable energy

technologies develop, an investment in ocean energy is likely to grow because it provides a vast

source of potential energy sources. The ocean environment must be protected while these

modern technologies are being developed because these renewable energy sources have the

potential to help alleviate the global climate change threat. If the projects are sited and scaled

appropriately and if environmental guidelines are followed, the renewable energy sources from

the ocean may be exploited safely and without harming the marine environment.
