BOEM updates its guidelines periodically as new information or methodologies become available. The updated avian guidelines will assist lessees in:
- Identifying the information necessary for BOEM to conduct environmental reviews of a lessee's Construction and Operations Plan.
- Clarifying information needs for site assessment activities.
- Finding information resources, including federally funded studies on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf.
