May 22, 2019 — The following was released by Vineyard Wind:
We wanted to let you know that Vineyard Wind will begin geological surveys on or about May 22. The estimated duration is approximately 77 days, ending on August 7, 2019. Surveys will take place in Vineyard Wind Lease Areas 501 and 522. Please see the full notice to fishermen and mariners here.
We encourage fishermen who may be working in the survey area to contact the fishery liaison.
This survey will gather data on seabed and subfloor conditions that will assist in identifying potential locations for future siting of offshore wind turbines and refine inter-array cable routes between each turbine.
Vineyard Wind is committed to communicating and working with the local fishermen in the region during all stages of development of the proposed offshore farm.
If you have any questions, please contact Crista Bank, Fishery Liaison via email at cbank@vineyardwind.com or via cell phone at 508-525-0421.
