Supplementary notes
On Connaissancedesenergies.org, , part of the marine energy family, is defined as follows: "Tidal energy involves harnessing the energy from tides in coastal areas with a large tidal range (difference in water height between successive high and low tides). The tidal phenomenon is caused by the gravitational effect on the ocean of two celestial bodies near our planet: the Moon and the Sun."
Ocean thermal energy conversion. Energy is recovered through temperature changes in the different layers of the ocean.
