Join Virtually! Register now at  https://seagrant.gso.uri.edu/special-programs/baird/ for the 17th Annual Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium on renewable offshore energy, “Offshore Renewable Energy in the U.S. Learning as We Go,” taking place virtually on Zoom on May 19th, 2020 from 9:00-10:30 AM. This event, the first of a four-part offshore renewable energy webinar series, will focus on lessons learned so far from offshore renewable energy experience in Rhode Island and beyond; three other related webinars (habitats and ecosystems, noise and energy emission effects on benthic communities, and food web effects) will be held this summer — more to come! Webinar partners — URI CRC, Rhode Island Sea Grant, URI GRaduate School of Oceanography, District Hall/Venture Cafe Providence, and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and Working Group on Marine Benthal and Renewable Energy Developments (WGMBRED) — look forward to seeing you at all these events!
