Fish and Fisheries OffshoRe Wind Research Database (FishFORWRD)

These documents track the development of and updates made to the Responsible Offshore Science Alliance (ROSA) Fish and Fisheries OffshoRe Wind Research Database (FishFORWRD). FishFORWRD provides a platform for interested stakeholders to view and learn of new and existing funded research projects and stated research needs in the offshore wind fisheries space on the east coast of the United States. FishFORWRD catalogs all research, monitoring efforts, programs and stated research needs for offshore wind, fish, and fisheries. FishFORWRD includes a Research Gaps Analysis tab creates a common understanding of progress made and research still needed to understand the impacts of offshore wind on fish and fisheries on the U.S. East Coast. The objective of FishFORWRD is to increase awareness of ongoing work, avoid duplication of efforts, and create a common understanding of research needs. This tool is meant for research funders, fisheries and offshore wind researchers, offshore wind developers, and the public.
