We have also set the dates for the first Offshore Wind Fisheries Monitoring Plan Development, Implementation and Evolution Sessions, the result of many collaborative meetings with individuals in the fishing and offshore wind industries, state and federal agencies, as well as our colleagues across the science and research community. Finally, we are thrilled to be advertising two new staff positions - details below.
ROSA To Host Monitoring Sessions
ROSA is pleased to announce their upcoming coordination sessions entitled Offshore Wind Fisheries Monitoring Plan Development, Implementation, & Evolution, which will be independently held by sector. Each sector-specific session offers a forum for individuals to collaborate, to gather information and document concerns and outstanding questions, to identify potential solutions, and to encourage collaboration. ROSA will distill the outcomes of these sessions into a report that will be used to update the Offshore Wind (OSW) Project Monitoring Framework & Guidelines and inform the new Strategic Plan for the organization. Visit our website here for session details and registration links.

ROSA on the Road
ROSA staff were actively traveling and collaborating over the last couple of months, promoting ROSA and developing regional science. In August, myself and Mike Pol, Research Director, staffed a ROSA booth in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, with Mike co-leading a symposium and presenting on regional survey efforts. Stay tuned for the symposium presentations to be posted soon on our website.
In September, Mike was interviewed as part of a session on collaborative research at the ICES Annual Science Conference in Bilbao, Spain. Later in September, Mike attended the AFLOAT conference on floating offshore wind in Portland, Maine.
Thank you for your interest in ROSA. We look forward to working with you soon!
