Description:

The existence of offshore energy infrastructure in U.S. federal waters requires an understanding of how artificial structures impact regional fisheries. The Louisiana and Texas continental shelf in the northwestern Gulf of America (also known as the Gulf of Mexico) has a long history of offshore oil and natural gas development and harbors the penaeid shrimp fishery, the highest-valued commercial fishery in the region. Proposed wind energy areas (WEAs) on the shelf for offshore wind energy may disrupt this fishery due to spatial overlap with historical shrimping grounds and the fishery’s use of bottom trawls.
