TEAMER: Long Island Sound Tidal Resource Assessment Geodatabase Model

Metadata Updated: July 15, 2025

This submission includes the Long Island Sound (LIS) Tidal Energy Resource Geodatabase developed collaboratively by Integral Consulting Inc. and Future Island Impact (FII) as part of a TEAMER-supported pre-feasibility study. The geodatabase is provided as a QGIS project and includes a spatially integrated tidal resource assessment model, incorporating publicly available datasets from sources such as Marine Cadastre and the Marine Energy Atlas. It features layers related to tidal current velocities, bathymetry, infrastructure, environmental constraints, and socio-economic factors, and supports multi-criteria decision analysis for site selection. FII contributed to the project through stakeholder engagement, project management, and application of the tool for community-scale tidal energy planning.

Also included is a PowerPoint training document that provides step-by-step guidance on using the QGIS model, managing and analyzing data layers, and applying the tool for future tidal energy planning. Together, these resources enable users to explore, refine, and replicate the tidal energy assessment process for LIS and similar coastal environments.
