The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking ideas for baseline environmental and socioeconomic studies to inform its decisions on potential offshore wind energy activities in US territories.
Additionally, BOEM is gathering information on entities in US territories with the capabilities, expertise, and interest in carrying out environmental monitoring and conducting studies. To formally request ideas for these studies, the bureau has issued a request for Letters of Interest (LOI). BOEM has also issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify entities capable of performing environmental monitoring and studies in US territories. The deadline for responding to the LOI and RFI is 23 August 2024.
