Equinor has joined a joint industry task force aimed at boosting collaboration between the fishing industry and offshore wind industry in the USA.
The task force was set up earlier this year with the goal of maximizing the compatibility of future offshore wind development with the country’s established fishing industry.
The initiative is spearheaded by the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA).
RODA said it will focus on improving communications regarding operational and design elements of offshore wind projects and commercial fishing practices.
“The joint industry task force allows both industries to remain autonomous while facilitating conversations, utilizing the best available science and providing a space for direct input to be discussed and generating novel solutions as offshore development continues to move forward,” RODA said.
