Both the headline and text in a story in the Dec. 31 Gazette about two Aquinnah scallopers cited for possible violations contained inaccuracies.

The Gazette regrets the errors.

A story in the Jan. 21 Gazette about two wind turbine projects on farms in Chilmark was unclear about the relationship of one person to a distinct group opposing the projects. Allen Farm abutter Jonathan Adler is not a member of the group battling a state plan to build turbines in waters off the Vineyard.
A photograph that accompanied a story in the Friday Gazette about the lost art of harpooning swordfish from the Vineyard incorrectly identified a person in the picture. It was Todd Mayhew, not Jeremy Mayhew, who was pictured with his father Greg Mayhew.
