Knowledge Hubs
PRIMRE is made up of multiple unique Knowledge Hubs that each contain a distinct type of information and scope related to marine energy. All content is freely available, actively curated by the PRIMRE team, and can be contributed by the marine energy community. Each Knowledge Hub is briefly described and linked below. Visitors may prefer to search within a specific Knowledge Hub or use the PRIMRE aggregate search to explore all the Knowledge Hubs at once. Other online tools, databases, and websites relevant to marine energy can be found on the Tools page.
