 More than 20 offshore wind development projects are proposed for construction over the next decade in the Northeast (projects & construction timelines based on Table E-4 of South Fork Wind Farm Draft Environmental Impact Statement). Offshore wind areas may cover more than 1.7 million acres by 2030 (Fig. \ref{fig:wind-dev-cumul}). Just over 1,900 foundations and more than 3,000 miles of inter-array and offshore export cables are proposed to date. Each proposed project has a -year construction timeline (BOEM 2021). Based on current timelines, the areas affected would be spread out such that it is unlikely that any one particular area would experience full development at one time.

 Proposed wind energy project areas and NY Bight Call Areas interact with the regions’ federal scientific surveys (Fig. \ref{fig:wind-dev-survey}). The total survey area overlap ranges from 1-14\% across ecosystem, shellfish, fish, shark, and protected species surveys. For example, the sea scallop survey will have significant overlap (up to 96\% of individual strata) while the bottom trawl survey  will have  up to 60\% overlap. Additionally, up to 50\% of the southern New England North Atlantic right whale survey’s area overlaps with proposed project areas.

 ### Implications
-Fishery revenue could be displaced to other areas or foregone if all wind projects are built.  
+2-24% of total average revenue for major Mid-Atlantic species in lease areas could be displaced if all sites are developed. 
 
-Displaced fishing effort can alter fishing methods and change habitat, species (managed and protected), and fleet interactions.  
+Displaced fishing effort can alter fishing methods, which can in turn change habitat, species (managed and protected), and fleet interactions. 
 
-Right whales may be displaced and could face possible prey impacts via changed oceanography. 
+Right whales may be displaced, and altered local oceanography could affect distribution of their zooplankton prey.
 
 Current plans for rapid buildout of offshore wind in a patchwork of areas spreads the impacts differentially throughout the region (Fig. \ref{fig:wind-dev-cumul-MAB}).

-Offshore wind will pose a risk to scientific data collection for surveys and increased uncertainty for management decision making across physical, low trophic, fish, and protected species.
+Scientific data collection surveys for ocean and ecosystem conditions, fish, and protected species will be altered, potentially increasing uncertainty for management decision making.
