| 摘要： | Recent detailed proposals from the Fisheries Survival Fund and Responsible Offshore Development Alliance - coalitions of the commercial fishing industry - and the American Clean Power Association representing the offshore wind industry, presented the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management priority lists for their industries' coexistence. Some of those recommendations distinguish between 'mitigation' - avoiding conflicts between wind development and fishing - and 'compensation' - paying to make up for fishermen being displaced from longtime fishing grounds. Fishing advocates say BOEM should be following a "mitigation hierarchy" under the National Environmental Policy Act to "avoid, minimize, mitigate and compensate" for impacts of offshore wind development. BOEM officials and wind energy advocates say that's being done. As examples they point to modifications to the South Fork Wind project east of Montauk, N.Y., to preserve critical bottom habitat, and shifts in the New York Bight wind energy lease areas to reduce conflicts with the scallop fleet. |
