Abstract
The first State of the Science Workshop on Wildlife and Offshore Wind, hosted by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), allowed researchers, managers, and stakeholders to share knowledge about the impacts to wildlife from offshore wind energy development. Panel presentations and group discussions allowed for a diversity of topics and issues to be identified in relation to: 1) Key advances in our understanding of environmental impacts from offshore wind, 2) Remaining priority data gaps and research needs, and 3) Opportunities for collaboration and regional coordination.
