This site allows the Navy and Marine Corps to evaluate the feasibility of various WEC configurations and provides WEC device developers the opportunity to further test their respective system designs and work towards device commercialization. The ceremony included various speakers who addressed the importance of the project and key players in the development and approval of the WETS and a traditional Hawaiian blessing.
