Offshore wind (OSW) energy planning efforts in the southeast region of the United States (US) catalyzed the need for data development to inform in-progress spatial analyses for OSW leases and transmission of energy to shore-based facilities. To address this need, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), in partnership with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), convened a marine spatial planning workshop in Beaufort, North Carolina on April 9th and 10th, 2024 [Federal Register Notice (89 FR 20638)]. This technical memorandum documents the outcomes of this two-day event.
