States from coast to coast have made significant commitments to power millions of homes with the massive clean energy source available off our shores. While this is new to U.S. waters, offshore wind turbines have been spinning elsewhere in the world for nearly three decades. This proven technology holds great potential for the U.S. to produce electricity right where it is most needed, reduce pollution that is harming fish, and create good-paying jobs.

Those of us who love to fish offshore stand to benefit from responsibly developed offshore wind projects, but only if we are at the table. Anglers for Offshore Wind Power promotes a set principles for responsible development: guaranteed fishing access; ongoing monitoring of fisheries impacts; and opportunities for public input on projects and permitting. We’ve seen this thoughtful approach to development work firsthand at America’s first and only offshore wind farm off of Block Island, Rhode Island, and in this video, you can see it too.
