The Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation is engaging Orsted to participate in their fisheries monitoring surveys of the South Fork Wind Offshore Wind Farm near Cox's Ledge. We are seeking commercial fishermen to join us in the proposals for this work which includes four different surveys: beam trawl, fish pot, gillnet, and ventless trap. A document for each survey with details about the scope of work are provided via link below. If you are interested please complete an application provided below and return by May 19th. We understand this is a short turnaround, but the full proposals are due shortly after.
