Summary

These data depict the relative suitability of the industry and operations submodel implemented within the NCCOS suitability analysis for siting wind energy areas within BOEM’s Gulf of Maine Call Area. This layer only covers the BOEM Call Area. 

Description

The industry and operations submodel developed for the NCCOS suitability analysis for siting wind energy areas within BOEM’s Gulf of Maine Call Area. This submodel represents the relative suitability of ocean industries and operations across the Call Area, and includes data for NMFS independent fisheries surveys, wrecks and obstructions, NEXRAD stations and impact zones, aids to navigation, AIS vessel traffic, USCG fairways, EPA Mandatory Class 1 Federal Areas, and military special use airspace.
