9.1 Introduction

Oceans and lakes around the world led to large waterfront areas linked to residential, industrial, recreational, mining, fishing, manufacturing, construction, and tourism areas. Social, commercial, and industrial activities are centered around waterfront areas. In North America, it is estimated that 30% of economic activities in United States/Canada are located in the Great Lakes region, with a population around 107 million, GDP US$ 6 trillion, and 51 million jobs [1]. Rivers and ocean regions are considered promising areas of research. This is especially true in energy production from the water current stream energy (WCSE) and wind energy, due to the availability of these resources throughout the year. There is an increasing demand for clean energy and smart and resilient infrastructures for both waterfront and maritime applications in Canada and worldwide. Energy deployment and planning in the maritime application are expanding due to the increase in world trade and shipping in view of worldwide development. Researchers have investigated several economical ways to deploy energy systems in offshore areas and maritime applications [2]. Renewable energy systems, hydrokinetics, and hydropower technologies are potential maritime and waterfront applications. The analysis of current routes of maritime ships shows routes in different regions around the world, with heavy traffic for goods shipping and human mobility. Figure 9.1 shows marine traffic with a trip density as km/year, as described in [3].
