Marine Renewables Canada's Ask an Expert Webinar Series: Webinar - Charting Co-Existence: International Insights into Offshore Winds and Fisheries

For generations, the fishing industry has been the cornerstone of rural coastal communities. Its ability to co-exist with OSW is critical to growing the sector. In this session, you’ll gain firsthand insights into how fisheries engagement is being approached across different jurisdictions, and what’s working on the ground and at sea.

This dynamic session will feature two expert speakers offering perspectives from opposite sides of the Atlantic:

• Maine, USA: Lessons learned from early-stage fisheries engagement in the OSW planning process 
• Aberdeen, Scotland: Real-world insights from co-existence efforts at operational floating offshore wind sites

If you work in policy, development, fisheries, or community engagement, this session offers practical examples and lessons that can inform your approach to offshore wind and ocean co-use.
