Work in the field took place in August and September of this year through the Real-time Opportunity for Development Environmental Observations study, or RODEO.

The study is taking direct measurements of visual effects, sound produced by various activities, and seafloor disturbances caused by cabling or anchoring. It is also evaluating different types of monitoring equipment.

Beginning with Deepwater Wind’s 30MW demonstration Block Island project, the study will be ongoing during the next five years and will take measurements from any other offshore projects as they come online.
