Marine Life

Did you know that the foundations of offshore wind turbines and their protective elements also act as artificial reefs, creating new habitats and fostering diverse marine ecosystems?

The offshore wind industry is taking concrete steps to minimize its impact on marine life. While we often hear claims that offshore wind development is responsible for increased whale mortality off of the U.S. East Coast, this is far from the truth. Recent studies tells us that the largest threat to marine mammals is vessel strikes and entanglement in abandoned fishing equipment.
