Ocean/Wind Power - Aerial Surveys
In 2008-2009, GMI conducted the first ever ecological baseline study in U.S. waters in advance of offshore wind development. This study, done for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, included aerial surveys for marine mammals and sea turtles. In this video, GMI scientists discuss how aerial surveys were conducted and what was observed when flying offshore New Jersey, and explain how the aerial surveys contribute to the larger baseline study. Also included is footage of the plane used for the surveys, what it looks like to see dolphins from the air, and the types of equipment scientists use to collect data on this type of survey.
