In September 2024, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Guam Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force (“Task Force”), reflects a partnership between federal, territory, and local agencies, as well as offices who regularly engage with members of the Indigenous community. The Task Force serves as a renewable energy forum to discuss issues and concerns, including those identified by the Indigenous community; exchange data and information about biological, cultural, and physical resources, ocean uses, and priorities; and facilitate early and continual dialogue and collaboration opportunities. At this meeting, BOEM shared information regarding its offshore wind leasing process well as its studies on this renewable resource.
