Abstract	The West Coast of North America has high potential for wave energy development. The Pacific Marine Energy Center, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office, is conducting research to better understand public views on this emerging technology on the West Coast. To assess how views may have changed in the past four years, we developed and conducted a survey of California, Oregon, and Washington residents (N=2999), administered online via Qualtrics, matched on age, gender, and education to general population quotas for the three states. Respondents were asked how much they had heard or read about wave energy; their views of commonly cited risks and benefits; and their overall attitude toward wave energy development.
