The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to participate in the new study to understand potential impacts of offshore renewable energy development on maritime traffic and fisheries (commercial, recreational, and Tribal) on the west coast in federal and state waters (covered waters). This study will examine the current uses of areas considered for renewable energy development and analyze potential impacts. During this effort, the committee will analyze historic and current commercial, recreational, and Tribal fisheries, and anticipated shifts in fish stocks; Tribal usual and accustomed fishing areas in covered waters; U. S. Coast Guard operations related to commercial fishing activities including search and rescue, navigation, and safety around renewable energy sites; other maritime activities to include shipping in covered waters; anticpiated benefits and mitigation methods to reduce adverse impacts through siting and design. Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will be looking to build a committee of approximately 12-14 volunteer experts in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and peer reviewers for any publications resulting from the activity.
