11 a.m. ET In an effort to ensure that potential offshore wind development protects the environment and addresses the concerns of coastal communities, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is conducting a multi-year aerial survey of wildlife in this area. Regional-scale baseline information on seasonal wildlife distributions, abundance, and movements will inform the relative biodiversity of the development sites. The surveys will also provide a better understanding of the potential effects of individual projects, as well as the potential cumulative effects of multiple projects. This webinar will outline the planned scope of the survey project and provide insights in the technical aspects of image collection, processing, species identification, and data presentation.

Gregory Lampman, NYSERDA, and Greg Forcey, Normandeau Associates, will present. This webinar will last 60 minutes with time for questions and answers at the end. Participant login instructions and more information can be found on the WREN Hub.
