Vin Malkoski Senior Marine Fisheries Biologist Fishing Activity, Resources, Habitat in Nantucket Sound and Related Questions Vin Malkoski Senior Marine Fisheries Biologist

Division of Marine Fisheries Introduction The shoal areas of Nantucket Sound provide a very important feeding and/or nursery ground for many species of finfish and invertebrates including: Bluefish (Pomatomas saltatrix) Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) Scup (Stenotomus chrysops) Summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) Black sea bass (Centropristis striata) Tautog (Tautoga onitis) Squid (Loligo & Illex ) Knobbed whelk (Busycon carica). 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries

Division of Marine Fisheries Introduction (cont.) The commercial and recreational harvest of fish and invertebrates in Nantucket Sound provides millions of dollars in revenue to the local economy and is an integral part of life in many Cape towns. 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries

Recreational Fishing Activity Approximately 150 Party and Charter boats Privately owned vessels Rod & Reel and Hand line Trolling, Surface casting, Bottom fishing with bait and lures, Fly fishing Estimates of recreational anglers are in the hundreds of thousands 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries

Division of Marine Fisheries Data Resources DMF Resource Assessment Program Biannual trawl study Stratified random design for fisheries management Twenty-five year time series Annual beach seine survey Fisheries Dependent Investigations Landings data for commercial fisheries Sportfish Program 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries

Fisheries Related Questions How will installation of wind towers impact water flow and sediment transport during construction and long-term? Will there be a large-scale conversion of habitat from open shoals to structure oriented? How would such a conversion impact fisheries resources, particularly through alteration of juvenile and forage habitat? Will there be any electrical field impacts from the subsea cables and distribution hubs? 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries

Fisheries Related Questions Will access for recreational and commercial fishermen be restricted or lost due to operational or security issues? Will traditional fishing practices be altered and/or hindered by the presence of wind towers? Will USCG rescue capability be negatively impacted? What will be the magnitude of impacts caused by the unintended and/or sporadic deposition of chemicals, preservatives, copper, or structural elements? 11/22/2018 Division of Marine Fisheries
