Offshore wind power is attracting attention as a renewable energy source that can contribute to a carbon-free society. Toward the realization of a carbon-free society, electric vehicles have already begun to spread. In the near future, we will need the electrification of fishing boats. In addition, offshore wind power and fisheries will have to coexist in harmony. One of the issues that must be addressed to promote the fishing industry through offshore wind power generation is to promote the effective use of electric boats and hydrogen fuel cell boats for fishing. In order to promote the use of hydrogen fuel cell fishing boats, it is necessary to build a prototype boat and conduct verification tests, as well as to study how to install and operate battery charging and hydrogen filling facilities. We will also need to conduct environmental and fisheries impact assessments of the sea area where the offshore wind turbine will be installed in the future. The development of a new type of AUV for marine research will improve the efficiency of underwater surveys, and if environmental DNA analysis can be used to identify fish species living in the surrounding waters, these will be a great benefit to the fisheries impact assessment.
