There's a fund of more than $20 million available to fishermen whose livelihood may be affected by the construction of the country's first large-scale offshore wind farm off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. Fishermen have 90 days to show they’ve historically used the lease area.

Wind turbine components are organized on the dock at New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal. The pieces will be assembled at sea as part of the Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm.

Rhode Island fishermen will have access to $4.2 million, and $3.3 million will be divided between fishermen in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. The area may have been used by those who target everything from squid, to clams, scallops, lobster and more. “The impact will be real because cannot fish in there while they're constructing it,” she said. “And the ecosystem is being disturbed to a level that they anticipated 100% decline during construction. So if you're making $50,000 in that lease area, that's a $50,000 hit you're going to lose.”

“I’ll be very hesitant to say the word ‘trusting us,’ but they're seeing that we're actually trying, trying to work with them, and it really best for us the fishing industry economically viable and healthy, because we're going to be working alongside each other for the next 30 years.”
