On behalf of the New York State Environmental Technical Working Group (E-TWG), the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is hosting the next State of the Science Workshop on Wildlife and Offshore Wind Energy on July 26-28, 2022 in Tarrytown, New York and online.
The third State of the Science Workshop will offer opportunities across a multi-day program to discuss scientific research involving wildlife and offshore wind energy development. To enable broad participation, this meeting will have options for both virtual and in-person participation.
The overarching theme of the 2022 Workshop is “Building on Existing Knowledge and Emerging Collaborations”. Six subthemes have been selected to showcase a breadth of research relating to offshore wind energy and wildlife in the eastern United States and worldwide:
- Establishing a baseline: understanding wildlife populations and distributions in the U.S.
- Risk assessments: approaches and challenges
- Offshore wind development effects and species/ecosystem responses
- Minimization and mitigation approaches
- Cumulative impacts of offshore wind energy development
- Collaborative processes to improve development and conservation outcomes
