| contents | Mapping the value of commercial fishing and potential costs of offshore wind energy on the U.S: West Coast: Towards an assessment of resource use tradeoffs. Feist, Blake E Griffin, Robert Samhouri, Jameal F Riekkola, Leena Shelton, Andrew O Chen, Y Allen Somers, Kayleigh Andrews, Kelly Liu, Owen R Ise, Jennifer Hunting Commerce Wind Renewable Energy United States Oceans and Seas Spatial Analysis Conservation of Natural Resources The West Coast of the U.S. has a vast offshore wind energy (OWE) electricity generation potential with value on the order of billions of USD, and pressure is mounting to develop large OWE projects. However, this seascape has numerous existing resource extraction uses, including a multi-billion dollar commercial fishing industry, which create the potential for conflict. To date, spatially explicit comparisons of OWE and commercial fisheries value have not been done, but are essential for marine spatial planning and for investigating the tradeoffs of OWE development on existing marine uses. In this analysis, we generate maps of OWE levelized cost of energy and of total economic activity generated by the top eight commercial fishing targets that account for the vast majority (~84%) of landed revenue off the U.S. West Coast. We quantify spatial overlap between these two ocean uses and use multiobjective optimization to develop tradeoff frontiers to investigate implications for both sectors from established state goals or mandates for OWE power generation capacity. There are clear differences in the exposure of each fishery in their traditional fishing grounds as a function of differing OWE capacity goals and outcomes vary depending on whether OWE development goals are achieved at a state-by-state level or a region-wide level. Responsible siting of OWE projects includes careful consideration of existing commercial fishing activities, and responsible transition to renewable energies on the West Coast and elsewhere accounts for the socio-economic consequences of the total economic activity associated with each fishery. |
