Informing decision-making at the
intersection of offshore wind and fisheries
Leading Regional Offshore Wind and Fisheries Research
ROSA’s Mission: The Responsible Offshore Science Alliance (ROSA) is a nonprofit organization that advances research, monitoring, and methods on the effects of offshore wind energy development on fisheries across US federal and state waters. We serve as an objective resource for all sectors and facilitate the coordination of regional scientific research to collaboratively and efficiently deepen understanding.
At the heart of ROSA’s work is a community–of fishermen, offshore wind developers, academics, government representatives, and others–united behind a common goal: objective, collaborative science. Together, we aim to generate scientific data to support effective decision-making and policy.
We are working full-time on offshore wind and fisheries research. Our strategic goals are:
- Administer Regional OSW Fisheries Research
- Facilitate assessment of Cumulative/Regional
- Build coordination through engagement
Committed to Inclusivity and Transparency
We welcome everyone who is interested in our mission. Anyone with knowledge of fish, fishing, or offshore wind can contribute significantly to our efforts. One need not be a scientist to participate in ROSA projects. We approach our work with an inclusionary lens:
