US Wind, Inc. said in a May 14 news release that it has proposed $20 million to support commercial fishing under memoranda of understanding reached with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
The agreements, developed in response to feedback from the local commercial fishing industry, "will provide funding to commercial fishermen above and beyond what is required by the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management," according to US Wind.
