Abstract:
OWET convened the second annual OWET Developersʼ Summit on August 2, 2011 in
Portland, Oregon.
The Summit brought together participants, both new and those who had attended the first
OWET Developersʼ Summit 2010, to review the Blueprint for Ocean Energy Development
2010-2015 and to discuss: the progress made in developing ocean energy during the
past year, ongoing challenges, and modifications to the Blueprint needed to refine its
strategies to advance ocean energy development in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest of
North America by 2015.
This addendum to the Blueprint captures the results of the Summit. OWET intends for
this addendum to supplement the action plan focused on advancing a responsible ocean
energy industry that is presented in the Blueprint. Blueprint action items will continue to
define OWETʼs work.
