In the fall of 2020, SMAST began a peer review process for the Vineyard Wind 1 Fisheries Research Monitoring Plans that included three outside fisheries scientists, six commercial fishermen and two recreational fishermen. All the fisheries survey methods and results to date were reviewed and critiqued by the group. The process culminated with a virtual meeting open to the public to allow an opportunity for any additional comments or concerns about the fisheries research monitoring plans.
