NEFSA CEO Jerry Leeman released the following statement in response to news that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has introduced legislation that will restore Chevron deference.
“So-called expert bureaucrats approved the Vineyard Wind turbines that are falling apart in Senator Warren’s home state, spreading debris from Nantucket to Cape Cod. Fishermen have always known that offshore wind will be a disaster for our oceans. But alphabet soup agencies used Chevron deference to silence us.”
“Without Chevron, fishermen finally have a chance to protect their jobs, heritage, communities and the marine environment from regulators and developers who are industrializing the ocean.”
The New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association is a bipartisan, non-profit organization committed to uniting Americans in the fight to preserve the last wild frontier — the ocean.
