3.2 Resources
Figure 14 shows available tidal current resources [9]. Figure 15 shows available marine current resource. The
highest resource for tidal current in the U.S. is located in the upper northeast, northwest, and Alaska. The highest
U.S. resource for marine current is primarily in the Gulf Coast around the tip of Florida. Energy conversion from
the Gulf Stream could potentially supply Florida with 35 percent of its electricity needs [6].
