Workshop at yacht club stresses mariner safety during wind farm construction

Fishing report.

“We don’t like seeing pylons and turbines in our ocean, but if built responsibly, it is better than burning coal or other fossil fuels to generate electricity,” Kristen Smith stated during Wednesday night’s mariner safety workshop at the Wickford Yacht Club in North Kingstown. 

Smith, her husband, Matthew, and about 25 other members of the Wickford Yacht Club were at the mariner safety workshop conducted by the Better Bay Alliance and wind farm developer Ørsted. The Danish company will be laying cable from their Revolution Wind project offshore up the West Passage of Narragansett Bay, under the Jamestown Bridge to Quonset Point. The purpose of the meeting was to alert mariners about the project, specifically when and where construction activities will be occurring.

Winnie Hagen, the Wickford Yacht Club's seminar organizer, kicked off the meeting by welcoming members and guests: “This workshop is part of a continuing series of educational and informative seminars we will be conducting for members.” 

She then handed the meeting over to David Lussier, president of the Better Bay Alliance. “We are not for offshore wind, or against offshore wind," Lussier said, "but merely here to promote mariner safety on the Bay. And to share our new website software called Live Chart that allows mariners to track all kinds of boating activities on the Bay, including construction projects like this one.”  Visit https://betterbayalliance.org/live-chart-better-bay-alliance/ for Live Chart.

Claire Hobson and Ross Pearsall of Ørsted’s Marine Affairs Division shared highlights of the Revolution Wind project, specifically the West Passage cable installation project, which will be conducted this fall and winter.

Changes to Local Notice to Mariners and Light Lists

The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center announced this week upcoming changes to the Local Notice to Mariners, or LNM, and the Light List, as part of its efforts to modernize and improve the accessibility, accuracy and overall user experience for mariners and other stakeholders.

The LNM and the Light List are used to relate current navigational changes and important navigational notices.

The Coast Guard plans to transition from using NOAA Paper Chart Numbers, editions and dates for disseminating Marketing Safety Information to using Official Waterway Names. The LNM and Light List data will be available in a geospatial format, which will allow users to visualize information interactively on a chart.

The transition to the modernized LNM and Light List platform (the Navigation Center website) will be completed by Monday, Sept. 30.  Visit the Navigation Center at Home | Navigation Center (uscg.gov) .

Where’s the bite?

Striped bass, bluefish, bonito .  “The striped bass bite has been hit or miss from shore with metal lures [that mimic mullet] and bucktails working," said Steven Orefice of Watch Hill Outfitters in Westerly. "The bonito bite continues to be strong, too.” Oliver Zannini of Quaker Lane Bait & Tackle in North Kingstown reported: “Customers haven’t been getting out much this week with rough seas but those fishing are catching some striped bass and bluefish in Narragansett Bay as well as along the coastal shore.” Declan O’Donnell of Breachway Bait & Tackle in Charlestown said: “The fall striped bass season is off to a great start, some great nights and mornings across the south shore. The amount of bait is off the charts and a great mix of sizes for bass. From 10-inch school striped bass up to 40-inch fish. Bonito are still plentiful popping up very randomly.” "East End" Eddie Doherty, Cape Cod Canal fishing expert and author, reported: “Fish continue to devour bait in preparation for the southern migration. I caught a fat fish that I eyeballed to be about 27 inches, but the expanded girth caused the optical illusion of a shorter length, which really measured out to 30 inches." 

Fluke (summer flounder), black sea bass, scup and cod.  The black sea bass bite is still good, however, the summer flounder (fluke) bite is starting to fade. Angler Kevin Fetzer of East Greenwich fished with Joe Klinger of South Kingstown at Austin Hollow off Jamestown and boated a 24-inch, 5.2-pound fluke. “All the other fish we caught were undersized, including several fluke, scup and black sea bass," Fetzer said. “Fluke and seabass fishing is starting to taper off,” O’Donnell said. “Black sea bass and scup fishing continues to be outstanding along the southern coastal shore," Orefice said. "And a big treat this month — anglers are catching keeper cod fish on rock piles and wrecks close to shore.”

Tautog fishing is hit or miss for anglers.  Those finding fish seem to be in lower water where there is water movement.

Tuna. Tuna fishing continues to be good. “The bite south of Block Island and Montauk is good with anglers hooking up with 60-inch school bluefin tuna jigging and chucking,” Orefice reported.

Dave Monti holds a master captain’s license and charter fishing license. He serves on a variety of boards and commissions and has a consulting business that focuses on clean oceans, habitat preservation, conservation, renewable energy and fisheries related issues and clients.
