SeaBee Honey hosted a well-attended event on Tuesday, April 23rd, at the Rye Congregational Church. The focus? Concerns from the fishing community regarding the potential impact of offshore wind power on the Gulf of Maine's fisheries and marine mammals. The New England Fishermen's Stewardship Association (NEFSA) , led by their CEO Jerry Leeman ,provided an excellent presentation outlining these concerns. After the presentation, the NEFSA team fielded questions from the audience.
Thank you to the NEFSA team, Rye Congregational Church, Mr. Cavanaugh, Bob the Videographer , Kerri Ann, and everyone that attended this great presentation.
Looking ahead, we'll be working with offshore wind proponents to organize a similar event, hopefully with other sponsors. This is a complex issue with a significant impact on our community, so ensuring all sides are heard is crucial.
