Much collaboration took place at our recent (in-person!) workshop focused on bringing recreational fishing and commercial fishing colleagues together with offshore wind energy representatives, and a broad array of government, academic, practitioner, industry, and community interests to grapple with Northeast ocean sharing, or “multi-use” strategy, as we like to say.
Shoutouts to Jennifer McCann, of CRC and Rhode Island Sea Grant, for leading the program; to Claire Hodson (CRC/Sea Grant) for facilitating, and to Andy Lipsky (NOAA Fisheries) — one of our stellar participants. Great going, all!
