Renewable Energy Task Force and Offshore Wind Meetings

On May 16, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) convened a Joint Massachusetts and Rhode Island Renewable Energy Task Force Meeting<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.boem.gov_Task-2DForce-2DMeeting-2Don-2DMay-2D16-2D2017_&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=B9XA--3OrnThJRBtofglZRf3pzHhOFoEef8_7pi_33w&e= > in Falmouth. Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Undersecretary Ned Bartlett provided opening remarks welcoming BOEM, Task Force members, representatives of three offshore wind development firms, and stakeholders; highlighting the collaborative efforts and progress to date; and pointing to some of the next steps, including the upcoming Massachusetts competitive procurement pursuant to the Energy Diversity Act. BOEM staff provided updates on the status of the lease areas and environmental reviews, and offshore wind developer representatives discussed their plans for site characterization surveys and timelines for developing construction and operations plans. Following the Task Force meeting, the Commonwealth convened a public information meeting to share updates and answer questions. On May 17, CZM and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center held meetings of the Fisheries Working Group on Offshore Wind Energy<http://www.mass.gov/eea/energy-utilities-clean-tech/renewable-energy/wind/fihseries-working-group.html> and Habitat Working Group on Offshore Wind Energy<http://www.mass.gov/eea/energy-utilities-clean-tech/renewable-energy/wind/habitat-working-group.html>.

CZM Spotlight: CZM Works with Sail Boston to Help Keep Coastal Waters Clean

>From June 17-22, Sail Boston 2017<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.sailboston.com_&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=5fgkwCheji9AUFzKdhRwymmrR_4O6Ym8PUEtMcec-90&e= > will welcome 40 tall ships to the Port of Boston. The event will feature a Parade of Sail through Boston Harbor with thousands of spectator vessels anchored along the parade route to view these historic sailing ships. Event organizers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and local harbormasters and marina operators have been planning for months, and CZM has worked with them to ensure that proper pollution prevention protocols and facilities will be in place to support the event. All of Massachusetts waters are designated as a No Discharge Zone<http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/coastal-water-quality/ndz/>, which prohibits the discharge of treated and untreated boat sewage into coastal waters. CZM's primary role in planning this event was working with Sail Boston 2017 and the U.S Coast Guard through the federal consistency review process. CZM reviews federal projects (including project receiving federal permits or funding) that have the potential to impact the Massachusetts coast to ensure they meet state standards. Through this review, CZM identified the need for adequate and convenient pumpout facilities for all the spectator vessels expected to attend the Parade of Sail on June 17. CZM, along with the U.S. Coast Guard, then provided event organizers with a comprehensive list of pumpout boats and dockside facilities, along with detailed contact information. Organizers reached out to each pumpout facility to ensure event participation. As a result, sewage pumpout boats will be positioned throughout Boston Harbor to collect and properly dispose of waste during the Parade of Sail. In addition, CZM encouraged Sail Boston to develop a pumpout communication strategy that includes creation of a pumpout information web page, distribution of pumpout information to local marinas and harbormasters, and use of social media to further spread the word to boaters. This cooperation and collaboration will help protect the water quality in Boston Harbor so everyone can enjoy Sail Boston.



Seeking Local Cleanup Coordinators for COASTSWEEP 2017

COASTSWEEP 2017, the annual state-wide beach cleanup sponsored by CZM, kicks off in September-and now is the time to sign up to be a local cleanup coordinator for your favorite beach, marsh, dive site, and riverbank. Volunteers throughout Massachusetts turn out in large numbers each year for this event, which is part of an international campaign organized by the Ocean Conservancy in Washington, DC. Participants all over the world collect trash and other marine debris and record what they find. This information is then used to help reduce future marine debris problems. Cleanups will be scheduled throughout September and October. To get involved, see the COASTSWEEP website<http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/communications/coastsweep/>.



Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season, and on May 25, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center forecasted an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season for this year (see the NOAA News release<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.noaa.gov_media-2Drelease_above-2Dnormal-2Datlantic-2Dhurricane-2Dseason-2Dis-2Dmost-2Dlikely-2Dyear&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=LxCiA2doivpcNJ0qyQYEEVGpsR3zEjLxHEtcWM-euVQ&e= >). NOAA's prediction calls for 11 to 17 named storms forming in the Atlantic between June 1 and November 30. Five to nine of these storms are expected to turn into hurricanes, with two to four predicted to be major hurricanes (i.e., Saffir/Simpson category<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nhc.noaa.gov_sshws-5Ftable.shtml-3Flarge&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=o_MrjNSzbUTsCy29KYBN1ztEg592g4helmbOo7MSztQ&e= > 3, 4, or 5 with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater). An average season produces 12 named storms of which six become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes. For all the latest hurricane information, see the NOAA National Hurricane Center website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nhc.noaa.gov_&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=Gt0MkPnZobLwVNUcQWSbgP1Br55sdbp3MNcDA8UIA28&e= >, and for the definitions of watches and warnings for hurricanes and tropical storms, see the National Weather Service (NWS) Hurricane Preparedness - Watches & Warnings web page<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nhc.noaa.gov_prepare_wwa.php&d=DwIFAw&c=lDF7oMaPKXpkYvev9V-fVahWL0QWnGCCAfCDz1Bns_w&r=C9BINYo0_S_mrKX_-4qOfLwVGopCCjEl3HZQG_IKsjI&m=szi-zR3DX5YxTxUkNAmKDi3amEU-6vtCmavAw5O1r8s&s=ceG40bnSLUrIkchis4qfPWWwha0R1DBwh15AaLRophA&e= >.
