Offshore wind is a relatively new phenomenon in u.s. waters—the first commercial wind farm at sea was completed in 2016. that facility, block island wind farm, consists of five turbines off the coast of rhode island and is capable of producing 29 megawatts of power. that’s more than enough to supply all 17,000 homes on nearby block island.

Owfs have four broad types of direct effects on fish and fisheries ( table 1 ): the artificial reef effect, fisheries exclusion, energy landscape effects (i.e., sound, emf, and currents, wind wake), and fisheries displacement (bergström et al., 2014). the first three occur at the owf scale with possible knock on effects at larger scales, while.
