Description
Description | This project involves the development of offshore wind energy in the Rhode Island and Massachusetts wind energy areas. It includes the installation of 70 monopile foundations spaced 1 nautical mile apart, with construction activities such as pile-driving. The project aims to balance renewable energy development with conservation of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale by implementing mitigation measures like seasonal restrictions and noise attenuation devices to reduce the impact of pile-driving noise on marine mammals. |
