The New Bedford Ocean Cluster focuses on four pillar industries that reflect New Bedford’s maritime economy
Aquaculture
Commercial Fishing & Processing
Innovation & Technology
Offshore Renewable Energy
Wind is Working for our Local Restaurants and Hospitality Sector
Steve Silverstein, owner of The Black Whale in New Bedford, reflects on the unique role that local restaurants and bars play in bringing together people from across New Bedford’s working waterfront industries, from commercial fishing, offshore wind, and marine trades.
As the city undergoes a once-in-a-generation wave of investment, Steve sees the restaurant and hospitality industry as a vital connector in the local economy. With an eye on the future, he shares his belief that “a rising tide floats all boats,” a shared belief in the community spurred by the recent growth driven by offshore wind and related maritime industries. New Bedford and the region are poised for success.
