🚨 Funding Announcement Coming Soon! 🚨 ROSA announces an upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) to launch our Regional Research Program, making available up to $3.4 million in funding for research on the interactions between offshore wind and fisheries along the U.S. East Coast. This funding is made possible through the Empire Wind 1 project, developed by Equinor and supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) under its New York 4 Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificates solicitation. This RFP will support three high-priority research areas: 1. Supporting Fisheries Access – Advancing strategies for coexistence and mitigation in offshore wind areas. 2. Understanding Potential Impacts to Larval Fish – Investigating the transport and settlement of larval fish and invertebrates. 3. Fisheries Monitoring: Data Integration, Evaluation, & Analysis – Enhancing regional monitoring efforts through innovative data integration. ROSA is committed to funding hypothesis-driven, actionable research that builds on existing efforts, delivering timely results to support fisheries and offshore wind management, planning, and mitigation.

As we wrap up Energy Awareness Month, it’s important to remember that energy conservation isn’t just a one-month focus. It’s something we can work on all year to help reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on utility bills. Here are 5 lesser-known tips to save energy throughout the year: ➡️ Use Task Lighting: Instead of lighting up entire rooms, use desk lamps or under-cabinet lights in specific areas where you need it. This reduces the amount of energy needed compared to overhead lighting. ➡️ Close Vents in Unused Rooms: Close the vents in areas that aren’t used frequently to redirect heating or cooling to spaces where it’s needed. ➡️ Use Rugs on Bare Floors: In the winter, rugs add insulation to your floors, helping retain heat in rooms. This reduces the need for your heating system to work as hard. ➡️ Use smaller appliances: Appliances like toaster ovens, microwaves, or slow cookers, use less energy than a full-sized oven. ➡️ Seal Gaps and Insulate: Air leaks around doors, windows, and ductwork can cause your heating and cooling systems to work harder. NYSERDA’s Comfort Home program makes it easy with “seal and insulate” packages: https://on.ny.gov/3XXMzov
