This paper presents a method of locating the highest potential sources of ocean energy by implementing Geographic Information System (GIS). The aim of this study was to find the optimal wave energy location in the coastal area of Terengganu state in Malaysia. The wave data for the years 2015-2017 have been collected. The GIS was adopted to prepare data for analysis and perform geostatistical analysis. The results showed the exact location of areas in the coastal area of Terengganu in which maximum energy from the ocean can be harvested. The proposed methodology can be applied in other coastal areas. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2020 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85081546921&doi=10.1088%2f1757-899X%2f736%2f3%2f032019&partnerID=40&md5=6e61a9335d0f19722b319f557898f85b id_number: 10.1088/1757-899X/736/3/032019 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering volume: 736 number: 3 refereed: TRUE issn: 17578981 citation: Shafiai, S.H.B. and Gohari, A. and Zhou, J.G. and Nohuddin, P.N.E.B.
