2020 State of the Science Workshop

Lightning Talks

State of the Science Workshop on Wildlife and Offshore Wind Energy 2020: Cumulative Impacts

​

Workshop participants shared their research, management, and coordination activities via virtual lightning talks. Talks were topically relevant to offshore wind and wildlife but did not have to focus on cumulative impacts.
