Community Engagement
Community Engagement
The foundation of our approach to community engagement is early, frequent and transparent communication. Our model for outreach includes one-on-one discussions, public meetings, community informational fairs and discussions facilitated by neutral persons. From project conception to construction and execution, we strive to build trust, mutual respect and a sense of local ownership in the communities where projects are taking place.
Underscoring our core values, we hire local and prioritize hiring and training local contractors and existing marine users to support our projects, creating new jobs and business opportunities in host communities.
Project services provided by local contractors include:
Vessel support during site surveys, environmental monitoring, and maintenance operations
Dive services
Marine supplies
Marine mammal observation training and employment opportunities
