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.
