Cape Wind
The Cape Wind Project proposed for Horseshoe Shoal, Nantucket Sound will be the first offshore wind energy project in the United States. Mass Audubon began its review of the Cape Wind Project in August 2001. Since that time, we have commented on dozens of studies and permit applications, identified data gaps and need for standards, contributed the results of our own extensive avian research, and challenged Cape Wind and its permitting agencies to accept comprehensive and rigorous monitoring and mitigation conditions to help improve the environmental review of this significant project.
Mass Audubon's final position on the Cape Wind project will be based on our review Final Environmental Impact Statement and the pending Record of Decision to be released by the U. S. Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service.
