CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. The development of offshore wind technology along the Atlantic coast of the United States has raised public concern about the potential effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) from undersea power cables on commercially and recreationally important fish species. This study provided a summary of the currently available science that addresses the potential effects of EMF from undersea power cables associated with offshore wind energy projects on fish species of concern. This summary was developed to help the commercial and recreational fishing communities who have concern about the effect of EMF on fish. The study summarized what is currently known about EMF issues, addressed common concerns and misconceptions, and provided background information about EMF in the environment and the relevance of EMF to fish species of concern in the Southern New England area. 129000 U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Environmental Studies Program https://doi.org/10.13039/100012475 M0119F0012 10.67297/9A1E38 https://boem.gov/awardpages/100280
