US Wind has kicked off oceanographic survey activities within the lease area offshore Maryland where it plans to build its MarWin offshore wind project.
The team will be collecting data until July to inform project design, including foundation type, turbine location, and cable burial routes.
The geophysical survey operations will be conducted along a tartan-pattern survey grid by marine research vessels R/V Brooks McCall and the R/V Miss Emma McCall, operated by TDI Brooks.
US Wind said it has also committed to minimizing impacts on marine life during the survey operations.
Expert observers will be aboard each vessel to monitor the presence of protected species, such as the North Atlantic Right Whale, and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect these species, the company said.
