Last week some of our researchers went out between storms and were able to complete one of our seasonal survey trips. This ongoing project surveys eastern Georges Bank every other month to provide data on abundance and distribution of scallop and flatfish. Many thanks to the owner, captain and crew of the F/V Atlantic for all your help to our staff!

We visited the United States Maritime Resource Center in Middletown, RI to see the Orsted Wind Farm Simulator. Some of our researches got to see first hand what navigating through a wind farm (Revolution Wind) might look like. In the simulation they were able to change the weather conditions and time of day!
Tori, Natalie, Tasha, Luisa (pictured), and Liese were joined by members of Orsted, Vineyard Wind, Eversource and Regent Craft on this exciting day.
