UMassD-SMAST Partners with New Bedford Port Authority to Study Effects of Wind Energy on Fishing

The UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science & Technology (SMAST) is partnering with the New Bedford Port Authority on a project titled "Tracking and Modeling the Behavior and Position of Fishing Vessels and Their Towed Gears in Wind Energy Areas." The project is funded by a $419,462 grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC).
The study will examine how commercial fishing vessels and gear operate within and around offshore wind energy areas to better understand...
