Save the East Coast is a non-partisan ocean environmental advocacy group based in NJ determined to protect the ocean, coastal ecosystems & coastal communities.
We had a great weekend with Save The East Coast at the NJ Saltwater Expo, educating people on the real harms associated with offshore wind. The biggest misconception we heard was that it’s already been stopped , but it hasn’t. Construction is still moving forward on sites like Empire & Sunrise Wind and seeing the footage was a wake up call for many. Stay vigilant. Little by little, more people are waking up, seeing the truth, and joining the fight to save our ocean and #StopOffshoreWind
@STEConX
We’ll be at the NJ Saltwater Expo in Edison, NJ (March 13–15) alongside our friends from Protect Our Coast at a shared booth.
Stop by to learn more about the real impacts of offshore wind on our ocean and coastal communities.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Some NIMBYs are advocating to push offshore wind development farther out to sea to protect their beach views. They claim this would be better for fishermen and whales—but that argument is both false and laughable. Whales don’t swim in neatly defined corridors.
As our good friends at @CapeMayWhale often point out, “whales have tails, and they follow the bunker wherever they go.”
Just as @NOAA and @BOEM relied on outdated models of whale activity when siting and granting leases to the offshore wind industry, some now suggest that whales—especially the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale—would swim in a narrow corridor closer to shore if the federal government simply designated that space off-limits to industry, fishing, shipping, and other activities.
But these offshore sites have a much larger footprint. They require thousands of additional miles of cable to be plowed into the seabed, along with open-loop cooling systems that discharge 8.4 million gallons of water daily—each at 90°F and containing chlorine residuals.
Fishermen are the ones who sustain local coastal communities and feed America. It’s not okay to push them aside.

Please consider helping out our neighbors fighting to save their land and livelihoods. They could use a boost with some more signatures on their petition

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Doug Burgum announces the Supreme Court may soon SHUT DOWN wind energy farms off the coast of America because of radar interference
"That could be a huge threat, particularly off the northeast coast."
STRIKE IT DOWN! Wind is a scam! 🔥

45 days is not enough! Demand @BOEM extend the public comment period on the 1,429-page PEIS, on impacts from offshore wind to 488,000 acres of NY/NJ ocean. We all need more time!

* Shocked, shocked I tell you🤨🙄*
 Faulty materials, a premium on get ‘er done versus do it right, and an inability to admit these things happen all the time… it’s called physics!
,And this little thing called leading edge erosion, which is a natural process with these blades, and I was accused at the time of misinformation, a.k.a. tried to do a hatchet job on me, when I gave the reporter all of the studies to back exactly what I was saying. @POTUS@realDonaldTrump@SecretaryBurgum@SecKennedy

Good news for now. But don’t think for a moment that the wind industry won’t come back if a more sympathetic administration takes office in Washington. Mikie Sherrill’s campaign took huge money and endorsements from the OSW lobby.
2.4-GW New Jersey offshore wind project canceled by developer
“The offshore wind industry has experienced economic and regulatory conditions that have made the development of new offshore wind energy projects extremely difficult,” Invenergy said.

Right now, the vessel Deep Cygnus is out in the NY Bight, jet-trenching the seafloor for Empire Wind’s export cables , ripping up bottom habitat, blasting sediment, and destroying the very grounds our fishermen rely on.
Jet-trenching churns up massive plumes of mud and sand, smothering habitat, burying forage species, and wiping out the bottom structure that fish, scallops, crabs, and marine life depend on.
This isn’t “clean energy.”
This is industrial destruction of the ocean floor on a massive scale.
@POTUS, why are you allowing this right off the coast of your hometown?
