This portion of the West Coast Framework supports the evaluation of potential environmental effects of wave energy projects by identifying relevant information requirements, synthesizing existing information, and identifying and prioritizing key data gaps. Each entry covers a potential effect of wave energy development, and each entry includes an Introduction, Brief Review of Information, Data Gap Analysis, and Options to Address Key Data Gaps. The Options to Address Key Data Gaps include the stakeholder feedback on each option.
