Commercial and recreational fishing are an integral part of the history, culture, and economy of coastal Virginia and North Carolina. Maintaining the health of these industries and the natural resources that support them is critical to Kitty Hawk Wind.
Toward this end, the National Marine Fisheries Service and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management are working together to ensure that North Carolina and Virginia fishing and associated marine habitats are effectively understood and considered throughout the project’s regulatory process.
Avangrid will be working collaboratively with these agencies and the local fishing communities in Virginia and North Carolina throughout the site assessment, construction, and operations phases of the project.
Please check back for udpates.
Kitty Hawk Wind is proud to be an active member of the community. Visit our full Events Calendar to see when we will be in your community next.
A cutting-edge marine simulator developed by the Maritime Institute offers fishers and maritime users a 360-degree virtual experience of safely navigating and fishing around Kitty Hawk Wind’s turbines and substation. Demonstrations are offered for four fishing vessel models in various weather conditions and times of day in which operators can deploy, retrieve, and operate gear within the Kitty Hawk lease area.
