The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to SMRU Consulting develop technology to validate acoustic noise modelling and monitor exclusion zones for North Atlantic right whales (NARW) during offshore wind construction (with an emphasis on pile driving). The objective of the proposed project is to develop a cost-effective and robust system for monitoring and mitigating U.S. offshore wind construction. This project would be completed over two budget periods (BP) with a go/no-go decision after BP 1.
