What’s up with tidal energy? An OREA project will fill tidal energy knowledge gaps and look at issues related to conversion technologies

Written By Trevor @ Hop Creative

HALIFAX, N.S.—In April, OREA announced a plan to bring industry and academic research together to develop new tidal energy technologies. Projects were selected for funding through a joint research competition.

Open Seas Instrumentation Inc. (OSI) of Musquodoboit Harbour was awarded $135,000 and JASCO Applied Sciences of Dartmouth got $65,000 to develop ways to monitor marine life near tidal turbines. Their findings will help researchers better understand the complex relationships between tidal energy development and the biological and physical ocean environment.
