The report explores key findings from diverse studies on the region, including the evaluation of wind datasets along Central California, the analysis of spatiotemporal variability potential wind power in Central California, scenarios for power production in the two Central California Call Areas, potential environmental impacts of deepwater wind facilities, an assessment of catch and value from California’s commercial fisheries, and an overview of fishing effort across the entire U.S. West Coast. The results provide information that can guide detailed assessments of offshore wind development over the Central California Coast and offer a transferable framework for similar evaluations in other regions, including the U.S. West Coast. 400000 U.S. Department of the Interior https://doi.org/10.13039/100012475 M16AC00023 10.67297/9A1DD4 https://boem.gov/awardpages/100180
