Metadata

These data are an outline version of offshore wind leases managed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). Active offshore wind leasing areas within the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters include commercial, research, and right of way lease areas. Leases are considered provisional after auction and prior to signatures from BOEM and the Lessee. All blocks for each lease have been dissolved by Lease Number to create outline polygons of active wind leases managed by BOEM. Easement sections are not dissolved into the lease but are considered part of the lease agreement.
