Renewable Energy

Renewable Energy

As renewable energy development started to increase, TRCP worked with other sportsmen’s conservation organizations to ensure that industrial solar and wind facilities are properly sited and that appropriate mitigation measures are incorporated into planning. Work on this project included coordinating a “Sportsmen Speak on Solar” forum in Las Vegas, coordinating review and input on the Department of the Interior’s Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, media outreach and development of opinion pieces, and the coordination of a multi-stakeholder mitigation workshop in Washington, DC that brought together the sportsmen’s and environmental community with renewable and traditional energy companies.

Jodi Stemler Consulting’s first project in 2005 was serving as the initiative manager for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership’s Marine Conservation Initiative.

Those priorities were documented in the coalition’s Angling4Oceans Report that Jodi wrote, edited, and managed design and production for. In addition, Jodi organized a marine fishing media summit in Destin, Florida to provide sportfishing writers the opportunity to learn about the coalition’s policy recommendations. Most of the recommendations of the coalition were included when Congress reauthorized the Magnuson-Stevens Act in 2006.
