A fleet of 25 fishing boats off the coast of Nantucket , Massachusetts , rallied together on Sunday to protest Vineyard Wind , an offshore wind turbine project under scrutiny after a turbine blade broke off, sending shards of sharp fiberglass into the ocean.

" Vineyard Wind is a menace to our fisheries," said Jerry Leeman , CEO of the New England Fishermen's Stewardship Association .

"Floating fiberglass shards remain a navigation and safety risk for mariners over a month after the blade disaster," he said.

Clean Ocean Action noted last February following the ninth whale death in the Northeast that the "alarming number of [whale] deaths is unprecedented in the last half century " In April , NEFSA, a fishing advocacy group that represents wild harvesters in fisheries, criticized the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) recently unveiled plans to lease 2 million acres of ocean in Maine for more offshore wind development.
