Reel Therapy Fly & Light Tackle Fishing charters

  I was recently invited to participate in an offshore wind simulator up in Middletown, Rhode Island. Marine operations modeling and simulation. The United states maritime resource center (USMRI) is a not-for-profit 501C3 that is open to all stakeholders, commercial, recreational fisherman, or anyone wishing to experience this firsthand as  well as for US Coast guard training. For the program, offshore wind developer Orsted’s Revolution wind farm was selected to model. They used actual wind farm survey data, as well as manufacturing data to create the towers, turbines, and related structures. The turbines themselves are slated to be Siemens Gamesa 11 megawatt turbines atop a monopile tower and the blades were about 95 feet off the sea surface. There were also substations built into the model. The turbines are set up there at 1nm x 1nm, but please note that the wind farms further south is to be set a bit closer at .08nm x 1nm. Additionally, they threw in a few sailboats, Coast g

Fish exhibited abnormal swimming behavior that included swimming in tight circles near the water surface, cork-screw swimming, and more rarely lethargy at the water surface. Moribund fish were collected and examined by gross necropsy, histopathologic evaluation, virus isolation using cell culture assays, and genetic evaluation for bacteria. No viruses were isolated from the samples. Consistent histopathologic lesions occurred in the fish that suggest significant disorders in the kidney, spleen, liver, and brain. A common finding included hematopoietic ce
