Offshore Wind Project Monitoring Framework and Guidelines

The Offshore Wind Project Monitoring Framework and Guidelines outline the fundamental elements to include in offshore wind fisheries project monitoring plans. Building on existing Bureau of Ocean Energy Management guidance, the framework was developed by a ROSA work group/committee comprised of representatives from several sectors involved in fisheries and offshore wind development research.
