BOEM Schedules In-Person Informational Meetings on Offshore Wind in the Gulf of Maine

The following message is being sent on the behalf of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

BOEM invites you to attend in-person meetings in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine in July 2023. BOEM is seeking feedback and local knowledge from the Gulf of Maine fishing community to facilitate improvements in spatial models used to inform draft Wind Energy Areas in the Gulf of Maine. The in-person meetings will provide opportunities to meet with BOEM staff, learn about the data BOEM has received for the models, and provide feedback on how their spatial models are incorporating the data. The meetings will include a mixture of small-group conversations and plenary speakers. Additional opportunities to comment will be available after the meetings.

The July 2023 meetings are scheduled for: Portland, ME on July 24; Ellsworth, ME on July 25; Rockport/Belfast on July 26, Portsmouth, NH on July 27; Plymouth, MA on July 27.
