The Biden administration is advancing the prospect of vast wind energy development projects in the Gulf of Mexico despite calls for a moratorium in light of wildlife deaths.
"The completion of our environmental review is an important step forward to advance clean energy development in a responsible manner while promoting economic vitality and well-paying jobs in the Gulf of Mexico region," BOEM Director Liz Klein said in a statement.

"We will continue to work closely with our task force members, ocean users, and others to ensure that any development in the region is done responsibly and in a way that avoids, reduces, or mitigates potential impacts to ocean users and the marine environment," she continued.
