Sea Services North America, a co-op of fishermen, is serving as the bridge between offshore wind developers and commercial fishermen. Sea Services’ mission is to improve safety on the open water and create opportunities for local watermen to earn extra income by providing guard, scouting, and environmental compliance services to the growing clean energy industry. Over the past three years, Sea Services has successfully trained over 80 independent and active fishermen who are now supporting offshore wind projects. To date, fishermen in the seven states where Sea Services operates have received over $10 million in income for their work. More information is available here.
