As offshore wind is set to take off as the next American clean energy resource, it is crucial to continue to understand potential impacts, plan carefully, and engage with other ocean users throughout the planning and project development process. And there are many opportunities for ocean users to weigh in during this process.

After hearing from fishermen, offshore wind developers removed over 30 percent of the potential energy production in 2019 in the Massachusetts/Rhode Island Wind Energy Area to create 200 transit lanes for fishermen.

The offshore wind industry will continue seeking ways to work with the fishing industry and other ocean users while seizing the generational opportunity to revitalize our economy and combat climate change. We hope our neighbors in the fishing and maritime communities will partner with us as we work to create a better future.
