BOEM-Oregon Science Exchange Webinar 7

Pacific Regional Ocean Uses Atlas

Space-use conflicts are a potential issue for offshore energy projects. BOEM Leasing Specialist Sara Guiltinan will present results from a study about human uses of the ocean. This study by BOEM and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration documents patterns of existing and emerging ocean uses off Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii. A mapping tool noting areas of potential space use conflict and/or compatibility in relation to proposed offshore renewable energy facilities/infrastructure will help analysts minimize conflicts.

Please join the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in the next BOEM-Oregon Science Exchange webinar from 10:00-10:30am PDT (17:00-17:30 UTC) on Wednesday, July 20, 2016.  This will be the seventh in the series of webinars on BOEM-funded studies related to renewable energy off the Oregon coast.
