Offshore Wind threatens the fishing grounds and marine habitats that so many of us cherish. While recent political shifts signal a potential slowdown of offshore wind projects, the fight is far from over. Green Oceans remains steadfast in its mission to protect our waters, ensuring that commercial and recreational fishing communities are not sacrificed for large-scale industrial wind turbine development.

Offshore wind will harm the economy in Rhode Island by eliminating jobs in the fishing and tourism industries, depressing property values, raising electricity rates, and driving manufacturing out of the state. The number of jobs added by the offshore wind industry will NOT offset the number of jobs lost.
