Large-scale offshore windfarms are proposed along the U.S. Northeast coast; the first is the Vineyard Wind lease area, which is planned for construction in 2023. During the fall of 2018, an experimental bottom trawl survey in the Vineyard Wind lease area and adjacent control area was conducted to collect preliminary estimates of fish assemblage composition, density, and size distribution.
