Abstract
OTEC plants are highly visible and likely will attract wide interest
- Effects may be “regionally” measurable, but of “national” or even “global” interest
- Information is limited
- Effects are not well quantified
- Observations are limited
- Effect predictions may be hypothetical and abstract until pilot studies can be monitored
- Effects will be site- and configuration-specific
- Ocean or shore plant location
- Discharge location and depth
