Wave energy generation devices fall into two general classifications, fixed and floating. Fixed generating devices are devices that are either built into the shoreline (i.e. on breakwaters), or fixed to the seabed in shallow water. Floating wave energy generation devices are systems that are floating in the ocean, either close to shore or offshore.
