- Abstract
- The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Division of Science, Research & Technology (DSRT) issued a Solicitation for Research Proposals (SRP) in order to address the need for baseline ecological/natural resource data as recommended by the State of New Jersey Blue Ribbon Panel on Development of Wind Turbine Facilities in Coastal Waters. The objective of this study is to conduct baseline studies in waters off New Jersey's coast to determine the current distribution and usage of this area by ecological resources. The scope of work includes the collection of data on the distribution, abundance and migratory patterns of avian, marine mammal, sea turtle and other species in the study area over an 18-month period. This Interim Report provides summary information on data collected during the first 12 months of surveys.
