Under task 2.1, the University of Hawaii and the Hawaii National Marine Renewable Energy Center (HINMREC) are proposing to use Federal funding to conduct High-Resolution-Multibeam oceanographic and soil surveys in near shore marine waters off Pa'uwela (North-Central) Mau. The data gathered by the University's project would assist in evaluating and characterizing the site's feasibility for future wave energy conversion deployments and in the development of a proposed Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) initiated environmental impact assessment (EIS).
