Description:
Nicole Gotovich points down the shoreline to the areas where the neighborhood volunteers planted native plants to prevent erosion on Friday, March 4, 2024. The phragmites in the foreground are an invasive species.

Offshore Wind company Vineyard Wind is establishing a fund to pay fishermen for financial losses they may suffer as a result of the wind farm being built near Martha’s Vineyard. It’s the first program of its kind in the nation. And the General Assembly is considering a bill that would create a comprehensive plan to deal with threats to the Rhode Island coastline. Meanwhile, we hear about a group of residents in Portsmouth who are taking matters into their own hands. Also, we have a studio session with Keith McCurdy of Providence-based gothic folk band Vudu Sister. Plus: a look back on the week in politics; and a few recommendations on what to do this week.
