Overview

This analysis evaluates the feasibility of combining offshore aquaculture and wave energy in Puerto Rico and USVI, suggesting viable areas for development.

Key Points

  • The study identifies suitable areas for co-locating offshore aquaculture and wave energy off Puerto Rico and USVI.
  • Wave energy was found to be the most limiting factor for the co-location feasibility in the defined areas.
  • Spatial analysis and environmental monitoring were employed to assess site suitability for integrated marine energy applications.
  • Key findings support the potential for boosting the ocean economy through coordinated marine energy initiatives.
