FINAL NOTES Ocean energy will supply electricity, drinking water and other products, creating jobs and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Not yet mature technology, but considerable longer term potential Overcoming main challenges requires concerted efforts by industry, academia, policy makers. Future development will be linked with other sectors, exploiting synergies International Collaboration: ANA BRITO MELO
