The article discusses the environmental assessment of a proposed Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Pilot Plant. The researchers evaluated the potential environmental impacts, risks of accidents, and mitigating measures for the Pilot Plant. They found that the activities of the Pilot Plant could cause significant environmental disturbances, but the exact impact is uncertain due to limited information. A more detailed Environmental Impact Statement is needed to fully understand and address the potential effects of the Pilot Plant on the environment.
