We use dynamic bioeconomic models to model the decision making of fishers and apply bayesian updating to reflect the adaptation of fishing activity after offshore wind installation. Accounting for the uncertainty in species biological density, we simulate various stragegies of fishing and identify ways to minimize the potential impacts.
