Hosts

The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) and Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the
Ocean (MARCO), supported by CSSF as their fiscal agent, are the hosts of RWSC and have
responsibility for the programmatic, contractual, staffing, fiscal, and legal oversight of the
entity. As such, NROC and MARCO support the RWSC Steering Committee in implementing
the RWSC mission. NROC and MARCO are responsible for the hiring of a Director in
consultation with the Steering Committee. NROC and MARCO provide appropriate oversight
of the Director’s work to manage the RWSC budget, contracts, grants, and staffing to ensure
that RWSC has sufficient capacity such that regional wildlife and offshore wind research, grant
and contract, and fiscal administrative objectives can be met.

CSSF, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity, serves as RWSC’s fiscal agent, consistent with Memoranda
of Understanding with NROC and MARCO. In practice this means that CSSF is the vehicle
through which staffing, contracts, and grants for RWSC are executed and managed. CSSF will
receive and remit payments on behalf of RWSC for services rendered and funds received. This
includes:

  • Providing a vehicle to maintain operating funding – funds received by members for implementing the RWSC Annual Work Plan
  • In selected cases, accepting and pooling funds from multiple sources for research
  • Procure and contract for research as needed
