Messing with the Jones Act to accommodate Offshore Wind makes about as much sense is a monkey smacking a sleeping Lion with a stick.

In this podcast I'm pose a very important question - "Why Are There Not Fisheries Liaisons Onboard Survey Vessels South of New Jersey?"

It's important for all user groups to get along and it is foolish to not allow fishermen to serve as Fisheries Liaisons offshore on the survey vessels while mandating Protected Species Observers  (PSO's) aka: Whale, Turtle and Bird Watchers to be onboard at all times.

In this episode I get into the newly released information about BOAM and Biden announcing a MASSIVE expansion of Offshore Wind.

Bring a pencil - take a few notes because the numbers cant add up in the way it has been presented.

Mariah is a "one of a Kind" Inspiration!
I met Mariah on a zoom conference a few months ago she blew my mind with her commitment, focus and determination to attracting good paying climate friendly jobs to NY and promised myself to interview her once I got this podcast off the ground. 

She is an inspiration to me and I’m honored to have her on the call.

This article we explore the Offshore Wind SOV vessels. Will there be US jobs or is there a loophole to outsource the jobs to other countries.

How to turn Offshore Wind Nay-Sayers into Yea Sayers and Supporters.

Recently I found myself in a group of people talking about Offshore Wind Jobs. They were peppering me with questions about the process, how long it was taking and really hammering me about Offshore Wind jobs. The main question being “when are these supposed offshore wind jobs going to show up.”

To this day I have no idea how or why this explanation came out of me but my mouth engaged before my brain and much to my surprise, it was a hugely successful explanation that everyone immediately understood. Heck – it even become more clear to me so I ran home and put together a shore video explanation

Offshore Wind might very well be the light at the end of a very long tunnel for struggling fishing communities and fishermen who have been forced off the water by the demise of the fish stocks and regulations.

In this episode we will discuss the very real possibilities of Offshore Wind and how they can have a very positive effect on struggling fishing communities and bring multiple high paying jobs.
