Offshore Wind
Offshore wind is one of the fastest growing renewable energy industries in the world, and Sea Risk Solutions is at the forefront in identifying, communicating and mitigating stakeholder issues. Design and installation for offshore wind continues to be strongly influenced by the maritime and fishing communities. Working closely with offshore wind developers, commercial and recreational fisheries, commercial shipping and other maritime interests, Sea Risk is engaged in offshore wind projects off the US east and west coasts, with experience in Europe and South America as well.
Sea Risk Solutions staff have the experience, relationships and communication skills necessary to optimize marine stakeholder engagement in support of successful project planning and implementation.
