Abstract
A brief introduction to Ocean energy followed by an outlook on the wave energy potential around the globe and a comprehensive discussion on the distribution of wave energy potential along the coast of Indian peninsula are presented in this chapter. The wave energy distribution along the coastal region is expected to facilitate the understanding and planning process of installation of new energy devices. Further the importance of wave energy and its impact on the environment are reported.
