This document discusses Washington state's considerations around ocean energy from a fish and wildlife perspective. It notes that Washington was an early leader in wind power, having the first utility-scale wind project in 2001 and being the first state to establish wind power guidelines in 2003. It also states that Washington currently ranks fifth in the US for installed wind capacity and first in renewables when including hydroelectric power. The document indicates that key technologies and perspectives around fish, mammals, commerce, recreation, and marine spatial planning will be discussed.
