ATLANTIC CITY — On Thursday, April 29 at 10:30 a.m., Fishermen’s Energy’s will launch their environmental monitoring buoy, by having a press event on the docks in Atlantic City, at Barney’s Dock, 700 North Rhode Island Avenue.
In recognition of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, the Fishermen’s Energy team returns to familiar offshore territory, but for a reason other than fishing.
The deployment of the buoy, 2.8 miles east of Atlantic City, is another one of the first steps in validating an offshore site for wind turbine suitability, gaining a thorough understanding of the environmental conditions. The buoy is planned to remain onsite for a 2-year monitoring period.
The instrumented buoy and mooring system are similar in design to existing buoys operated by NOAA and university programs. The system will measure wind speed and other environmental conditions, and transmit the information to shore for use in wind farm site assessments. This project has been reviewed and approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers and US Coast Guard.
The event will include photo opportunities and interviews with Daniel Cohen, President, Michael Madia, COO and other key Fishermen’s personnel. Representatives will be on hand from Woods Hole Group, AWS Truewind, as well as the captain and crew of the R/V Sea Wolf.
