Gloucester Fishing industry reps raise concerns about wind energy areas
Commercial fisherman Al Cottone, executive director of the Gloucester Fisheries Commission, and Angela Sanfilippo, executive director of the Massachusetts Fishermen’s Partnership and president of the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association, outlined the fishing industry’s concerns with offshore wind development. “First of all the construction process, the areas that are going to be used will probably be lost forever for commercial fishing,” Cottone said. “There are going to be a lot of losers when it comes to activity within these areas. You are not going to be able to find an area to put these arrays where someone is not going to lose their ability to fish and make a living,” Cottone said. He said this was a critical time for the local fishing industry. >click to read< 07:46
Is this part of master plan by our politicians,Get rid most of our commercial fishermen,which has already happen,So now there less opposition again wind farms taking over our oceans , which are owned by foreign countries.In England their major fishing ports have become wind-farm ports & there are electric rates are higher since wind-farms went on line?? My thoughts on wind-farms are bad for all our ocean life species because will be magnetizering & heating our oceans up more which is to warm ,more heat more problems?? Wind-farms not working well in Europe ?? Is someone being paid off ,Wondering ??
I can’t say anyone is being paid off, but the unions are really slurping it up. I thought the fishery killing Obama Administration was bad, but the boob in the White House now being VP of that administration is finishing what they started. Ocean destruction for foreign entities.
