The Chat host and Light columnist Jack Spillane brought together four key players in the fishing industry to forecast the year ahead and the long-term future for New Bedford scallopers.
Federal regulations, the new Trump Administration, the economy, climate, and offshore wind all play a part in the livelihood of South Coast scallopers and the most lucrative port in the nation. Watch the full Chat here to learn more.
I am very interested in this story (What’s on the horizon for area scallopers) but unfortunately I will be unavailable to watch this live. Will you be recording this chat so that it will be available to view in the future? Thanks.
Hi Bob. We do record The Chats. You should be able to watch the video now on our website or on Facebook
Wind is history, Trump will no let the federal government and its fisheries management team ruin our fishing industry so thing’s will not be as bad as you think plus fuel costs are going to drop.
Wind blows on every planet on the universe, so saying it’s history doesn’t really make sense. Windmills have been harnessing the wind since the 1400’s.
How has wind impacted fishing?
Oil drilling?
Crude oil prices have increased since Trump was elected.
Crude oil futures have increased since Trump was elected.
Trump Built the Wall.
How did that work out?
not be as bad as you think
Oil futures are up since Trump was elected.

Trump will not stop wind. Vineyard Wind was authorized under Trump.
Trump will not stop EVs, King Elon will not let him.
