The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is engaged in siting offshore renewable energy facilities along the Atlantic seaboard. As part of the planning and analysis for the offshore renewable energy process BOEM is reaching out to fishers to solicit their thoughts regarding offshore renewable energy as well as informing fishers about the offshore renewable energy leasing process.
This update will primarily focus on offshore renewable energy activities in the Mid-Atlantic (New York to North Carolina). Updates on the status of various BOEM-funded studies will also be presented. Information regarding BOEM’s renewable energy program can be found at: http://www.boem.gov/Renewable-Energy-Program/index.aspx. Incorporating input and feedback from fishers is important to BOEM’s planning process. With this in mind, the Council will host a Public Listening Session in which BOEM representatives, will provide an update and take questions and input from the audience and those online (see below for registration). If you have questions, need answers, or just want to express your concerns regarding the BOEM offshore renewable energy program, you will be able to talk directly to BOEM staff and leaders from the Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
