As the Chief of the Environmental Sciences Section of BOEM, the speaker welcomed participants and gave background on the topic from the federal perspective. She identified BOEM's need to share environmental research information as well as determine the largest data gaps to guide future research. From her perspective, the intent...
This presentation will provide an overview of how the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) uses environmental information for decision-making and the role BOEM’s Environmental Studies Program (ESP) plays in fulfilling information needs to inform Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) resource management decisions.
The ESP conducts and oversees top-quality scientific research...
There are many drivers for the pursuit of renewable energy extraction from coastal seas. In the United Kingdom these include moving away from fossil fuels to mitigate the impacts of climate change, improving energy security by diversifying supply options, increasing wealth generation in outlying coastal communities, and seeking alternative sources...
Offshore renewable energy development (ORED) could induce local ecological changes, negatively affecting species of conservation interest. If well planned and coordinated, on the other hand, ORED could be beneficial to the marine environment in the region of device deployment in several respects.
Because of the current scale and pace of...
Oregon has a strong framework for ocean planning rooted in the adoption of Oregon’s Ocean Resources Goal 19 in 1976. Goal 19 establishes that it is the State of Oregon’s policy to conserve marine resources and ecological functions for the purpose of providing long-term ecological, economic, and social value and...

The objective of this study is to identify potential end-users of the test center and their needs. The findings will inform the infrastructure design and the services offered for the PMEC South Energy Test Site.
The Incentivizing Ocean Energy project, completed July 2011 by Robert K. Harmon, studies methods of bridging the gap between the cost of ocean energy and the price it can command in the marketplace, especially for early-stage technologies. Robert K. Harmon details strategies to reduce the cost of ocean energy, gain...
Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) is a nonprofit public-private partnership funded by the Oregon Innovation Council. Its mission is to support the responsible development of wave energy in Oregon. OWET emphasizes an inclusive, collaborative model to ensure that Oregon maintains its competitive advantage and maximizes the economic development potential of...
This report is based on the successful deployment and recovery of the WET-‐NZ device deployed for a period of 6 weeks at the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center’s Newport Test Site. The device was deployed in late August and removed in early October, 2012. The project described herein consisted...
