Wave Energy Converter Impact Assessment

Description
Yakutat, Alaska is a community along the northeast coast of the Gulf of Alaska that has been identified as a locale for the utilization of renewable, wave-based electricity generation in order to lessen their reliance on diesel fuel for electricity generation. Fisheries monitoring, hydrographic monitoring, and passive acoustic monitoring were undertaken in order to help assess the potential for environmental impacts resulting from any future deployments of wave energy converters offshore of the community of Yakutat.
