A committee of the National Academies will assess potential impacts from offshore renewable energy development in waters of the west coast on maritime traffic and Tribal, commercial and recreational fisheries. It will include a literature review and public information gathering sessions to document the historic and current uses of areas considered for renewable energy development and assess potential impacts from installation and operation of renewable energy structures. The report will outline recommendations for government consideration during the decision-making process for offshore wind development. Congress requested this study in the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for FY2023 (P.L. 117-263).
