Our Agency Communications Plan guides our engagement with federal, state, and local agencies throughout the lifetime of the project. Our team is committed to developing respectful and collaborative relationships with each agency and recognizes that early, often and meaningful engagement is critical to developing a successful working relationship that is built on trust and mutual understanding.

We recognize Tribes and Tribal Nations as stewards of the lands and waters of the NY Bight region. We acknowledge and respect their sovereignty, as well as the enduring cultural and personal connections that Tribes and Tribal Nations have to the region. The insights and knowledge of Tribes and Tribal Nations can and should play an important role in the clean energy transition, to help ensure offshore renewable energy is developed in an environmentally, socially, and culturally sensitive manner. Our Joint Native American Tribes Communication Plan (Joint NATCP) was developed with all New York Bight lessees and guides our engagement with federally recognized Tribes and Tribal Nations throughout the lifetime of the project.
