Growing collaboration at the intersection of ocean development and fisheries

ROSA’s Mission: The Responsible Offshore Science Alliance (ROSA) is a nonprofit organization that advances research, monitoring, and methods on the effects of offshore wind energy development on fisheries across US federal and state waters. We serve as an objective resource for all sectors and facilitate the coordination of regional scientific research to collaboratively and efficiently deepen understanding.

At the heart of ROSA’s work is a community–of fishermen, ocean developers, academics, government representatives, and others–united behind a common goal: objective, collaborative science. Together, we aim to generate scientific data to support effective decision-making and policy.

We work on ocean development and fisheries research. Our strategic goals are to:

• Administer regional offshore fisheries research
• Facilitate assessment of regional impacts of ocean development
• Build coordination through engagement
