The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has made a Draft Finding of no historic properties affected for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) activities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). PAM activities include deploying passive acoustic equipment and collecting data to assess anthropogenic noise and the presence of marine species throughout the Atlantic OCS. This announcement initiates a 45-day public review and comment period on the draft finding, which is available on BOEM.gov. Please submit comments to BOEM’s Center for Marine Acoustics at [email protected] by April 26. More information can be found here.
