Ensuring the safety and sustainability of offshore energy production has become increasingly critical as global energy demands rise. During my tenure as head of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), I championed initiatives that balanced environmental protection, regulatory oversight, and operational innovation. By updating outdated safety regulations, fostering cross-agency collaboration, and engaging stakeholders—from industry leaders to local communities—we established frameworks that enhanced safety, reduced risks, and supported the growth of renewable energy sectors like offshore wind. Integrating advanced technologies and addressing emerging challenges, such as cybersecurity threats, were key to these efforts, setting the stage for a safer and more sustainable future in offshore energy development.
