description:
|
Includes systems designed to generate electricity from wind, wave, currents or tidal power using turbines, fixed or floating platforms, buoys, and/or dams, and associated offshore infrastructure including substructures, transmission hubs, generators, cables and service platforms. Excludes onshore power grids.
The general use footprint includes all areas in which the use is known to occur with some regularity (over the past 3-5 years), regardless of its frequency or intensity.
Dominant use areas are defined as ocean areas routinely used by most users most of the time (within the seasonal patterns for that use). |
