State of the Science on Offshore Wind Energy, Wildlife, and Fisheries

On behalf of the Offshore Wind Environmental Technical Working Group (E-TWG), the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is pleased to announce that the next State of the Science on Offshore Wind Energy, Wildlife, and Fisheries will be held July 16-19, 2024 on Long Island.

For the first time, the event is expanding to include fisheries and offshore wind topics, as well as topics relating to wildlife and the environment. We have always recognized the overlap between fisheries and environmental research, and we welcome the fisheries research community to this year’s meeting! The fourth State of the Science will offer opportunities across a 3.5-day program to share and discuss scientific research in all areas involving wildlife, fisheries, and offshore wind energy development. To enable broad participation, this meeting will have options for both virtual and in-person meeting components; additional details will be posted as they are confirmed. A call for symposia and abstracts will open in fall 2023. The list of topics being considered is now available on the E-TWG website.
