Assessing derelict fishing gear risks to floating offshore wind moorings off California
BOEM is funding a cooperative study to estimate how often derelict fishing gear may interact with floating offshore wind mooring systems off California. The work will identify high-risk regions, inform mitigation and future modeling, and deliver integrated data products to support BOEM’s environmental assessments and decisions. It will be carried out through a partnership with UC Santa Cruz an…
The overarching goal of this study is to assess the probability of derelict fishing gear interactions with offshore energy-related infrastructure, including floating wind structures, offshore California, that can be used to:Identify regions of greatest risk.Inform potential mitigative strategies…
