Oceantic Network Inc

Oceantic network, inc. Is using its educational initiatives: international educational tours, exchanges with international governments, webinars, annual meetings and its annual international partnering forum to educate on the topic of offshore wind. The organization brings together top developers, policymakers, global experts, and local member businesses in structured settings to provide technical training and expertise. Its goal is to educate and to advance the development of the offshore wind industry and create a competitive united states supply chain.

The organization conducts studies and supports research to advance the development of offshore wind and marine offshore renewable energy. In conjunction with maryland community colleges, the organization has surveyed the education and training needs of maryland workers to accommodate a developing offshore wind industry. The organization has facilitated and participated in work force development grants based on the results of these surveys. As the development of offshore wind progresses, the network may support research of a more scientific nature, including research examining the impact of the development of offshore wind on the chesapeake bay, for example. Such research may be conducted in partnership with colleges and universities in the area and possibly involve their students as interns.
