About this award
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) awarded a $603,779 firm-fixed-price definitive contract to The University Court of the University of St Andrews on October 1, 2021, for the development of a bioenergetic model to assess population-level effects of offshore wind development on North Atlantic right whales. The 24-month contract, which concluded on September 30, 2023, required the contractor to synthesize peer-reviewed literature, gray literature, and expert elicitation to create a model capable of evaluating the bioenergetic requirements across different life stages of North Atlantic right whales. This deliverable directly supports BOEM's mission to quantitatively assess potential disturbance impacts from renewable energy activities in U.S. waters. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation and performed at the contractor's location in Great Britain, United Kingdom.
The University of St Andrews, a prestigious Scottish research institution, brought substantial expertise in marine mammal research and passive acoustic monitoring to this engagement. The university has established itself as a strategic partner to multiple U.S. federal agencies, including the Navy's Living Marine Resources program and the Office of Naval Research, with a cumulative contract and grant portfolio exceeding $2.8 million focused on marine species monitoring, behavioral response studies, and environmental impact assessment related to ocean energy and naval operations. This particular award aligns with BOEM's regulatory obligations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act to evaluate and mitigate impacts of offshore renewable energy development on protected marine species.
