The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) awarded a $582,778 Cooperative Agreement to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct a field study on the behavioral and physiological effects of pile driving from offshore renewable energy construction on key Atlantic fisheries species. The three-year project, spanning December 2023 to December 2026, will provide data and analysis to support BOEM's marine environmental assessments and decision-making related to offshore energy...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $304,255 from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) supports a two-year project under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to study the impact of offshore wind farm noise on American lobster. The project will gather data on lobster physiology and behavior in response to anthropogenic noise from offshore wind development. Key activities include deploying hydrophones on commercial lobster traps in control and...
This $210,027 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) funds research by Oregon State University (OSU) to evaluate the economic impact of U.S. offshore wind farm (OWF) deployment on fisheries. The project will quantify OWF-induced changes in fishery revenues, contrast predicted and actual fishing patterns pre- and post-OWF construction, and model anticipated impacts on the West Coast. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program, aims to advance the fundamental understanding of floating offshore wind (FOW) energy systems and their comprehensive environmental impacts. The $265,971 award to Louisiana State University will support the development of novel multiscale, multidisciplinary computational models to simulate the complex performance of individual FOW turbines and farms under operational and extreme...
Field Data Services LLC will conduct a $297,032 technical feasibility study under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program project grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Department of Commerce. The study aims to determine the commercial viability of a new solid state lidar sensor chip for detecting migrating anadromous fish in small spawning streams. Field Data Services will build an automated test system to characterize the lidar's ability to detect...
This $199,355 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Massachusetts Boston to address fundamental issues in integrating offshore wind energy and other marine energy systems. The key objectives are to: 1) Rigorously evaluate the impact of wake effects and farm-to-farm interactions on the efficiency of using marine space for power production, 2) Identify areas less suited for offshore wind but...
This $101,358 Project Grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) will fund research to assess the ability of a regional ocean model (Regional-MOM6) to reproduce observed fisheries variability in the Northeast Pacific and Northwest Atlantic. The key objectives are to: Force two marine ecosystem models (BOATS and FEISTY) with hindcasts from the Regional-MOM6 model and compare the simulated fish...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) awarded a $252,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation program (CFDA 15.655) to Pacificorp's Rocky Mountain Power division. The study aims to quantify the effects of painting a single turbine blade black on eagle fatality rates at wind turbines, as well as determine impacts on non-eagle bird and bat species. This research will help federal and state regulatory agencies understand the potential impacts...
