MASSACHUSETTS: Ocean-energy center on New Bedford’s Homers Wharf hurts fishing industry, says abutter

Richard T. Moses, who is also a retired Superior Court judge, said the proposed building “clearly does not belong on Homers Wharf” in a letter to the City Council Property Committee.

City Council approval is required for the proposal because the Mass. Clean Energy Center wants to lease the site for 15 years. The Port Authority’s enabling legislation requires a council OK for leases longer than five years.

Massachusetts: Carlos Rafael’s Nemesis pulled from water in New Bedford

February 12, 2018 — NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — Crews managed to lift the fishing vessel Nemesis out of about 20 feet of water on Friday.

The Dinah Jane remained submerged but will be pulled from the water soon. It has yet to be determined when exactly.

The two Carlos Rafael scallopers sank around 1:30 a.m. Monday at Homer’s Wharf.
