TI - Bluepoint Wind: Semi-Annual Progress Report (November 1, 2022 – April 30, 2023)
AU - Bluepoint Wind
AB - Since the last progress report, Bluepoint Wind has made strides in outreach and thoughtful planning with regards to community stakeholders, fisheries, and agencies. Through consistent meetings and attending information sessions, Bluepoint Wind has remained a resource for external parties.   Bluepoint Wind has been working closely with BOEM to guide its communication with Native American Tribes.  Bluepoint Wind is looking forward to BOEM’s convening of Native American Tribes and New York Bight leaseholders in May to discuss interests and engagement strategies throughout the project development process and beyond. Bluepoint Wind is committed to being deliberate and thoughtful of all Native American Tribal outreach and engagement moving forward to take all concerns and questions.  Bluepoint Wind maintains ongoing coordination with BOEM on regulatory requirements and Construction and Operations Plan (COP) development. We have engaged with a number of other Federal and State agencies to introduce the Bluepoint Wind Project, discuss permitting for surveys, and obtain feedback on siting constraints for export cable routing.  For local commercial and recreational fisheries, our Fisheries Liaison has attended relevant meetings with councils, working groups, and other relevant parties through academic seminars, industry events and other various meeting channels. During the reporting period, the fisheries team has conducted numerous port visits and sent survey notices through a variety of channels to local fisheries. The Project has updated its Fisheries Communication Plan and will continue to do so throughout the life of the Project to ensure interested parties can access to up-to-date information in an effective manner.  The Bluepoint Wind stakeholder team has continued to meet with local community groups, universities, and other groups to create open channels of communication and ensure their feedback is being accurately documented and considered. During the reporting period between November 1, 2022 and April 30, 2023 (Reporting Period), the team has conducted, attended, and sponsored meetings with relevant parties to serve as a resource to the community to ensure that all questions and concerns are addressed directly. In the coming reporting period, Bluepoint Wind will continue to work with local groups to address continued questions and give the local communities a voice in the project as it progresses.
