Offshore wind turbines can produce abundant energy in a safe and cost-efficient manner while reducing pollution. Evidence suggests that offshore wind turbines also have minimal to no impacts on property values and encourages tourism. Concerns about these issues are understandable for an industry that is relatively new to the U.S., but studies strongly indicate their effect on property values and tourism will be neutral to positive.

Offshore wind project development and operations will rely on at least 25 vessels per project across all project stages, including seafloor survey work, component transfer, cable burial, crew transfer, and turbine installation. The number and category of vessels used depends largely on environmental conditions, distance of lease from shore, project size, and other factors.
