Abstract

Study concepts, oversight, and funding for the RODEO Program were provided by the US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Environmental Studies Program, Washington, DC, under HDR’s IDIQ Contract No. M15P2.

Highlights

  • Offshore wind has proven to be a valuable source of clean energy, in Europe, where over 75% of the global capacity is installed (GWEC, 2019)

  • In 2019, China and the United States were the greatest contributors of new wind installations, and with 15 offshore leases, the United States has potential as a strong contributor to the future offshore wind industry (BOEM, 2019; GWEC, 2019)

  • We briefly review the knowledge gained, focusing on the benthic ecology and demersal fish of Block Island Sound (BIS) to provide context for the broader BIS area prior to the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF)
