The turbine was damaged more than a week ago, and since then, more than six truckloads of fiber glass debris have been removed from the shore.
Operations at the first offshore installation to provide clean power to Massachusetts were "shut down until further notice" by the federal government as investigators look into what caused the breakage in one of the project's massive, 107-meter blades.
Anyone who finds wind turbine debris should call the Vineyard Wind's reporting hotline at 833-609-5768.
