The lawsuit was filed by the Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen’s Organization (MBCFO) and the Port San Luis Commercial Fishermen’s Association, who claim that the equipment used to survey underwater land for offshore wind development could be harmful, and possibly deadly, to sea animals in the area. They added that this would infringe on the fishermen’s right to fish and be detrimental to the commercial fishing industry in all of California. “Our rights as fishermen can’t be hindered in any way,” said President of Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen’s Organization and plaintiff Tom Hafer. “They are not following the law.”
