To meet the need for accurate and accessible information about potential risks to birds from offshore wind energy development, a specialist committee of the E-TWG has released the final publication of Frequently Asked Questions: Offshore Wind Energy and Birds. The FAQs can aid in the dissemination of scientifically-based answers to common questions. In addition to the FAQs, there is a fact sheet, flyer, communications toolkit, and glossary of terms.
NYSERDA's Environmental Research Program is developing a new Marine and Coastal Resources Energy Research Plan and we are seeking feedback on information gaps and research needs related to energy development and operation on the marine and coastal environment. This research plan will help us identify and prioritize ongoing and new research priorities. We request your feedback by completing the Request for Information survey July 31.
