Abstract
This report has been prepared by the Schatz Energy Research Center (Schatz Center) for the Crescent City Harbor District. It is intended to provide preliminary information regarding the possibility of offshore wind development off the Del Norte County Coast.
This report draws heavily on previous work conducted by the Schatz Center and referred to as the
California North Coast Offshore Wind Studies. To evaluate the potential for offshore wind development in Del Norte County, it is recommended that a more robust and complete feasibility analysis be conducted.
This report is organized into twelve brief sections that discuss a range of relevant topics. Section 12
summarizes the findings, draws some overall conclusions, and makes recommendations for further
research.
