Maine Lobstering - An Alternative Opponent

Until today, I had heard nothing about the notion that offshore wind farms are at odds with the lobster fishing industry. If I understand this correctly, offshore wind which relies on huge floating wind generators anchored by thousands of feet of massive chain anchor lines can't coexist with the stationary buoy ropes that lobstermen use to retrieve their lobster traps. So it's the lobstermen who have to go.

Mind you, I could be mistaken about this, but you might want to begin your investigation with this YouTube channel:

From that channel, here is a video which should suggest that just perhaps, media coverage of the lobstering industry's situation might not be trustworthy:
