Florida Atlantic University’s Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) has been notified by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) that a final Environmental Assessment (EA) with a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) has been published to the Federal Register for SNMREC’s proposed offshore ocean current turbine testing facility. The next step is to negotiate a five-year lease to conduct testing activities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.
