Kitty Hawk Wind
Kitty Hawk Offshore is a proposed wind farm off the coast of North Carolina, United States. The proposed site is 27 miles from the Outer Banks and is projected to produce 2,500 MW of electricity, which could power approximately 700,000 homes with renewable energy. In 2017, BOEM awarded Avangrid Renewables with a 122,405-acre lease which requires a Site Assessment Plan (SAP). Project link Kitty Hawk Offshore.
RPS Group contracted EcoAnalysts to conduct taxonomic identification on over 200 benthic infauna samples as required by the SAP. All samples were collected using a 0.1 m2 grab and processed with a 0.5mm sieve. We provided a complete sorting and identification to lowest practical taxonomic level (LPTL).
