Description
Original provider: APEM Inc. Dataset credits: APEM Inc. and Normandeau Associates Inc. Abstract: Equinor Wind US, LLC were committed to undertaking a Construction and Operation Plan (COP) of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Lease Area Outer Continental Shelf (OCS-A) 0520, now called Beacon Wind. To facilitate this, 16 surveys were undertaken by APEM Inc. and Normandeau Associates, Inc. (Normandeau-APEM Team) between December 2019 and November 2020 to provide baseline information for consideration in the assessment of potential impacts. Additional surveys were collected between March 2021 and October 2021 and can be accessed at https://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/2187.
