Actionable Matters
The Canada–Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator (CNSOER) has opened a Call for Information related to governments’ Strategic Direction on offshore wind development.
This public consultation is open for 90 days and closes on January 13, 2026.
The Call for Information applies to three designated offshore wind energy areas:
Sydney Bight
Middle Bank
French Bank
This is an important opportunity for fish harvesters, Indigenous communities, coastal residents, marine operators, seafood businesses, and other ocean users to share real-world knowledge before further decisions are made.
