Abstract
The responsible development of offshore wind energy in the New Jersey/New York Bight and the broader mid-Atlantic region depends on a robust, long-term environmental and ecological monitoring system. Implemented through two coordinated tasks, this project supports New Jersey's Research and Monitoring Initiative (RMI) by advancing offshore wind farm contributions to a regional environmental and ecological monitoring system designed to address multi-user needs. The conceptual framework developed through this project provides guidance for such a system, leveraging offshore wind energy infrastructure, fixed and mobile platforms, and shore connectivity to generate and transmit valuable data.
