Attentive Energy is committed to creating collaborative relationships with ocean users and the fishing community. Now a leaseholder, our engagement continues to be based on transparency, collaboration, and safety offshore. The Fisheries Communication Plan is not only designed to inform and facilitate collaboration with the fishing community, but also to address any safety concerns associated with our project and offshore wind development.
Our belief is that by working collaboratively with ocean users and the fishing community, we can optimize on-water activity to prioritize safety and minimize impacts on natural resources. Attentive Energy values direct local engagement and our community-minded approach is a core value of the project. Attentive Energy plans to expand upon the engagement efforts completed prior to becoming a leaseholder through additional community and stakeholder outreach.
