Description
Underwater acoustic monitoring was conducted under the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM's) Real-Time Opportunity for Development Environmental Observations (RODEO) Program during the construction of 1) a meteorological tower proposed for the Maryland Wind Energy Lease Area, and 2) two monopile wind turbines located off the coast of Virginia. Underwater acoustic, turbidity, biofouling, and corrosion monitoring were also conducted at the offshore Virginia location after the two monopile turbines became operational. To facilitate the presentation and review of the large quantity of observations and data generated during the study, this information was organized into three standalone volumes: 1) construction noise monitoring; 2) operational noise monitoring; and 3) turbidity, biofouling, and corrosion monitoring during the operational phase.
