Executives for EDF Renewables and Shell New Energies held an online forum Jan. 13 to exchange information with recreational fishermen on their Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind project. But questions from the public ranged beyond recreational fishing.

The leased area held by Atlantic Shores from the Department of the Interior is 183,353 acres of the outer continental shelf approximately 10 to 20 miles off the Jersey Shore stretching from Atlantic City to Barnegat Light.
