DESCRIPTION:The Bourne Tidal Test Site (BTTS) in Bourne\, Massachusetts\, i
 s the only permanent test stand in the world designed specifically for tid
 al devices. This partial scale test site allows a transition from testing 
 in university tanks to full scale\, avoiding some of the failures that hav
 e happened when deploying larger prototype turbines too quickly. This faci
 lity has positioned Massachusetts among the leaders in the emerging tidal 
 energy industry\, part of the Blue Economy. Sensors can be tested economic
 ally on the Massachusetts Ocean Sensor Test Bed (MOST)\, also located in t
 he Cape Cod Canal. Experiments have been conducted there to monitor water 
 conditions and fish behavior. MOST provides a secure\, stable platform for
  long term sensor testing with continuous power and real time sensor data\
 , cost effectively.\n\nJohn Miller\, the Executive Director of the Marine 
 Renewable Energy Collaborative (MRECo) will give background on the marine 
 renewable industry\, some of its challenges\, and why the BTTS will solve 
 some of them. This is a young industry that has many challenges\, but also
  opportunities.\n\nSpeaker(s): John Miller\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 pm Introdu
