\"windMitchell Center Faculty Fellows Heather Leslie<\/a> and Kate Beard-Tisdale<\/a> have received funding from the Northeast Sea Grant Consortium to advance social science and technology research on offshore renewable energy in the Northeast.<\/p>\n

Leslie\u2019s project, \u201cBuilding Capacity for Participatory Approaches to Community Resilience and Ocean Renewable Energy Siting<\/a>\u201d will characterize values and beliefs in three communities to understand where ocean renewable energy is a good fit for people and place, and develop a community tool kit with maps, surveys and participatory practices that can be applied across the Northeast.<\/p>\n

Beard-Tisdale\u2019s project, \u201cCan Proprietary Commercial Lobstering Data be Used to Inform Offshore Wind Development?<\/a>\u201d will create a standardized procedure for constructing representations of the Maine lobster fishery using data and knowledge from individual fishermen, and develop data product models and sample products that will inform fisheries management and marine spatial planning.<\/p>\n

Sea Grant, DOE, NOAA Fisheries fund six projects for the coexistence of offshore energy with Northeast fishing and coastal communities<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
