Department of Marine Resources to talk with lobstermen about floating offshore wind research array
The Maine Department of Marine Resources will be holding meetings to engage with Zone Councils D, E and F who have fishermen who fish in the area being reviewed for the potential of a floating offshore wind Research Array in federal waters.
The meeting will explain DMR’s role in the process, provide an overview of the project and then focus discussion on the information available to us about fishing activity in the area, identify gaps in that data, and summarize feedback received through conversations with industry members.
