Protection (NJDEP), Division  of
Science, Research & Technology
(now the Division of Science and Research) 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,
