Fishermen Back Pause On Foreign Development in America’s Oceans

April 16, 2025

“Our government should never sell out American fishermen to foreign green energy companies,” said NEFSA CEO Jerry Leeman. “NEFSA applauds Secretary Burgum for pressing pause on the Empire Wind project, which regulators rushed to approve over the objections of working commercial fishermen and their families. We hope and expect the new Administration will end the era of special treatment for foreign developers industrializing America’s fisheries.”
