Rhode Island Approves Vineyard Wind Project
Ecori | February 27, 2019
The offer to compensate Rhode Island fishermen harmed by the latest offshore wind project was disliked by just about everyone in the packed auditorium, but the deal was ultimately approved for fear it might slip away. “We’ve been backed into a corner. Is there a way out of it? No,” said Grant Moore, fisherman and president of the Atlantic Offshore Lobstermen’s Association. Moore recommended that fishermen and the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) accept the deal.
