New research examining perceived opportunities and barriers for multi-use in offshore wind energy planning in the Southern New England area has been published in Marine Policy. The study specifically examines the relationship between commercial fishing and offshore wind industries, exploring potential pathways for coexistence and shared ocean space use. Given that conflicts with commercial fishing have dominated discussions about offshore wind development in the Southern New England region, the research provides insights into stakeholder perspectives on multi-use scenarios and identifies key factors that could support or hinder collaborative approaches to ocean space planning.
