Known as a shared stewardship agreement, the partnership establishes a long-term cooperative framework through which the state and federal government jointly set restoration priorities and coordinate the use of existing authorities to carry them out.
Onshore wave energy company Eco Wave Power is turning the tide on reliable, clean electricity with its patented, wave-harnessing devices that can be seamlessly integrated into coastal infrastructure. Founded in 2011, the Israeli-based company was featured in a February 2026 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory report on coastal structure-integrated wave energy converters (CSI-WECs), which are smart, automated devices that can be attached to onshore or nearshore structures such as breakwaters, piers, and ports.
