Fishermen advocate begins campaign against offshore wind, ‘industrializing’ of the ocean

(The Center Square ) – The New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association began a campaign to bring attention to what it says is a radical climate activism’s “industrializing” of the ocean through green energy agendas and the disastrous effect such objectives have on commercial fishermen’s livelihoods.

President of the fishermen advocacy Aaron Williams told The Center Square that his organization’s campaign “is intended to bring attention to the growing concerns many commercial fishermen, seafood producers, and coastal communities have regarding the rapid expansion of offshore wind development in productive fishing grounds.”

The campaign includes mobile billboards around Washington D.C. during Ocean Week displaying phrases such as “They call it green energy…we call it INDUSTRIALIZING THE OCEAN” and “Thank you President Trump for defending commercial fishermen against offshore wind!”

Ocean Week is an annual ocean and Great Lakes policy conference.
