The fishing industry is concerned construction of wind turbines on coastal waters is jeopardizing jobs and the fish population, and warns that it could have an economic impact.

The offshore wind turbine market is projected to reach nearly $40 billion by the next decade, according to wind turbine operations and maintenance market research conducted by Transparency Market Research. The turbines convert wind into electricity, which is sent ashore through cables and fed into the regional or national electricity grid to power homes and businesses.

They say problems exist even in spots where the turbines have yet to go up. Commercial fishermen, along with charter fishing boats, are seeing fish flee from the noise of the site surveys, only returning to regular spots a few days later. "These boats are not stationary," Capt. Greg Cudnik of Fish Head Charters in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, told FOX Business.
