Offshore Wind and New Hampshire – An Opportunity to Listen and be Heard

Mon, 2024-04-15 00:00 +0000

If you missed the recent ‘Grok coverage on offshore wind, you can catch up here. Wind Power is not any of the things they say and mostly things they will not, and a plan to put turbines off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire is moving ahead despite the long list of negatives.

An informative session on the topic is coming up, and we wanted to let readers know so they could share that or plan to attend.

We have some great speakers who will provide research and information about offshore wind and its effects on marine life, fishing, the environment, and its questionable effectiveness and sustainability as a green, renewable energy source. This event has been put together in response to a pro-wind informational session previously planned to take place in Rye last month, which was canceled when the organization learned some people opposing the project would be in attendance.

Would love to see you there!

Fishing Off Our Coast 2: Offshore Wind Power & The Fishing Community
Mark Your Calendars! Date: April 23rd Time: 6:00 PM Location: Rye Congregational Church
580 Washington Road, Rye, NH 03870

Representatives from the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association (NEFSA) will discuss their concerns regarding offshore wind power in the Gulf of Maine, such as potential impacts on fishing grounds and the environment.

This is an important opportunity to learn more about the future of our coast and fishing industry.

If you go (I am not available that day), feel free to provide some details or a report for us to share.
