@ACEconPolicy it's the prettiest view on the boardwalk. Too bad they ruined it with that decaying Welcome Center and the Korean War memorial on the boardwalk.
IMPORTANT! Empire Wind 1 Construction & HF Radar Disruptions: Starting May 2025, construction for Empire Wind 1 will begin off the coast of Long Island & New Jersey. This project poses serious risks to maritime safety, including disruptions to high-frequency (HF) radars used for search and rescue operations.
What This Means:
• HF radar is crucial for tracking ocean currents and aiding search and rescue missions.
• Turbine interference could reduce the accuracy of Coast Guard operations, making it harder to locate vessels in distress.
• This could delay emergency response times for commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, and anyone navigating these waters. Your safety should NOT be compromised!
Let’s make sure decision-makers understand the dangers before it’s too late. Contact your representatives. Call the Dept. of Interior and ask for an expedited review of this project. (202) -208-3100 @DougBurgum@leemzeldin

INDUSTRIAL NOISE POLLUTION KILLS
Posting this again because people need to understand. Impulsive seismic 2000-psi airgun noise kills larval krill immediately within 1.2 km. Wind turbine pile driving has the same shockingly loud noise levels as the 2000-psi seismic airguns used in this research. How do we know? We measured 11/2/23 offshore. See figure below.
Baleen whales need krill for survival. My working assumption: Critically endangered whales don't have the energy budget to roam tens to hundreds of miles for food after the krill have been killed in their habitat. This is noise burden. Permitting pile-driving in whale habitat looks like a conscious, deliberate action to drive endangered whales faster towards extinction.

The New Killing Fields will be off Long Beach Island, NJ. Permission has been granted for the incidental take of marine mammals during offshore wind (#OSW) construction activities, set to begin in January 2025. The project involves driving a 2,000-ton foundation into the seabed using a 100-ton hammer, striking an estimated 19,000 times to install just a single foundation. Everyone please help us stop this project before it begins @GovMurphy. Stay informed. Follow us on X. #MarineLifeMatters #SavetheEastCoast https://t.co/QrvnNmp7Mr
New: Largest Recorded Mass Stranding of #Dolphins in the NorthEast. The IFAW says "Since the end of June, the team has responded to 175 live stranded dolphins, which is over 2.5 times our annual average."
They’re planning on building OSW farms right on top of the New York Bight Scallop Rotational Area scallop beds. (area inside the blue box). They’re going to pile drive 1000s of tons of steel into the ocean floor here and lay gravel mats over top for scour protection. They plan on plowing the ocean floor to jet trench emf laden cables. These scallop beds will not survive this. Click the link to see what local fishermen are already experiencing with survey activities in this area. https://t.co/AI3PZsFEUn

@MassGovernor@MassLtGov@MassEEA you are in the process of ruining our environment, our way of life, our wildlife. how much money has the wind companies poured into the political campaigns and the cities and state to fast track this travesty and disaster on the people of our country and your state?
This is a reminder that August 14 @ 5:00pm
Atlantic City City Council will be meeting.
Please spread the word to have people show up for public speaking.
EVERYONE gets 3min. to speak.
Atlantic City is a KEY component in all these Wind Turbines.
The Locals are unaware…of the harm
🚨 Shocking revelation: 3,000 dead whales, dolphins & porpoises in just 3 years in the UK. "POTENTIAL TO KILL": Defra's report highlights the danger of underwater noise from wind farm construction to marine mammals. #OffshoreWind #NoisePollution
Failed Vineyard Wind project’s environmental disaster continues today with the still attached broken blade day #16, discharging fiberglass shards into the ocean off southern New England. @mapoli @ack4whales @NARW @mikerdean22
