Abstract

The second spring survey for the NYSERDA offshore planning area (OPA) was started on April 21 and completed April 26, 2018. There was only one day of delay in completion, which was caused by weather conditions, and the survey window spanned six days. These surveys are designed to characterize the usage of the area by marine fauna to aid in the planning for offshore wind.
