Description
Description | The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) had designated over 3.5 million acres of federal waters for offshore wind development across various U.S. coastal regions including the Gulf of America, Gulf of Maine, New York Bight, California, Oregon, and the Central Atlantic. The projects involved leasing federal offshore tracts for wind energy development but faced opposition due to impacts on fishing communities and marine ecosystems. The bureau has now issued a directive to halt pending lease sales and scale back offshore wind projects on federal land to protect fishermen's livelihoods and marine life. |
