Williams, K.; Connelly, E.; Johnson, S.; Stenhouse, J.2015DOE Report No. BRI2015-11https://tethys.pnnl.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Mid-Atlantic-Studies-Summary.pdf The goal of the Mid-Atlantic Baseline Studies (MABS) Project was to provide comprehensive baseline ecological data and associated predictive models and maps to regulators, developers, and other stakeholders for offshore wind energy. This knowledge on wildlife distributions, movements, and habitat use will help inform the siting and permitting of offshore wind facilities on the mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf.Please contact data providerThe study report is available at https://briwildlife.org/mabs/reports/ The records for the following IDs were removed (record numbers in the parentheses).
