For recreational anglers the wind farms south of MV are going to be instant artificial reefs. They wlll be mahi and black sea bass factories and eventually become destination fishing locations. We worked hard to make sure once construction is done in an area we will be able to fish right up against them...similar to oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The wind farms will displace some commercial fishing activity but not nearly as much as industry trade groups claim. A lot of the noise the commercial industry is making is all about getting paid...and they are being paid quite well.
