Mr. Brian Balcom, a Senior Scientist working out of CSA’s Monterey (California) office, will be part of a panel discussion addressing a key monitoring and mitigation issue: Developing a Plan for Monitoring and Mitigating Operational Impacts in High-Risk Areas. Mr. Balcom has been involved with CSA’s offshore energy and renewable energy projects since 1981, providing technical expertise and impact assessment, mitigation, and monitoring experience pursuant to U.S. and international regulations. He will provide insight and perspective for CSA’s recent mitigation and monitoring efforts conducted for U.S. offshore wind farms, with a focus on biological resources at highest risk.
