Maine Conservation Voters and other allied Maine organizations will be submitting positive comments and constructive feedback. Here at MCV, we are particularly excited about the plan’s commitment to environmental monitoring and mitigation, consistent collaboration with the fishing industry, and the creation of a floating offshore wind innovation hub to take advantage of technological developments in the industry. The University of Maine’s offshore wind program is contributing key research, keeping Maine at the forefront of the field.
You can learn more about the Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap by watching this Lunch & Learn hosted by MCV in 2022. We are energized by the progress the state is making towards responsibly developed renewable energy. We are also hopeful that the growth of offshore wind will show care towards other Maine ocean users, communities across the state, and wildlife onshore and offshore. Thank you for taking action and stay tuned for further developments throughout this year! |
