Special Issue on Understanding the Effects of Offshore Wind Energy Development on Fisheries
On the Cover: Constructed in 2015–2016, Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island was the first commercial offshore wind farm in the United States. It provided an opportunity to begin to understand the potential effects of such development on coastal resources in the US Atlantic, a focus of several articles in this special issue.
