Mark your calendars for an exciting forum about ongoing research in the Atlantic Ocean.
Join us on November 16-17 at the Atlantic Ocean Energy and Mineral Science Forum. Participants will hear updates about ongoing and recently completed studies funded by BOEM in the Atlantic region in support of the Renewable Energy, Marine Minerals, and Conventional Energy Programs. Topics to be covered include: fisheries, marine mammals, marine and coastal birds, social and cultural resources, environmental stressors, and research supporting the Marine Minerals Program. Participants will have ample time to ask questions and provide suggestions for future study areas.
The forum will take place at:
