DOS’s Offshore Wind Planning Objectives
- Make site-selection more
efficient
- Develop siting standards
- Identify information gaps
– What’s out there – What to look for
- Engage local user groups
- Ensure flexibility for future
changes

The NYS CMP Atlantic Ocean Amendment
- Offshore planning for:
–
renewable energy
–
habitat protection
- Based on CZMA and linked to
BOEM’s leasing process
- No moratorium
- Phased and adaptive
approach
- Integrated with federal,
interstate efforts
