K&W and the Consensus Building Institute are working with the Northeast Regional Ocean Council to support regional ocean planning in New England. The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) has engaged K&W, in partnership with the Consensus Building Institute (CBI) and a team of technical experts, to support regional ocean planning in New England. The CBI/K&W team is focused on helping NROC and the region’s stakeholders to better understand the trends and issues associated with key types of marine activity and development which are occurring, or likely to occur, in New England waters, including current and future activity/development in the areas of maritime commerce, energy (including renewable energy) and associated infrastructure, and aquaculture.
