The entire Ocean SAMP was held up nationwide as a model program and several other coastal states began to use it as a model for similar planning. This made it all the more disappointing to me when I was part of the CRMC Fisheries Advisory Board (FAB) and it seemed that someone high in the chain of command had decided that the offshore wind projects were too important to be slowed down by the rigorous process defined in the Ocean SAMP.
