| 摘要： | A series of humpback whale standings on Mid-Atlantic beaches during December into January gave offshore wind opponents an opening to promote one of their key charges: that sea floor surveys for planning the turbine arrays already threaten endangered marine mammals. Clean-ocean advocates, commercial fishermen and activists from New Jersey beachside resort towns issued a demand for a "thorough, transparent investigation of these whale deaths performed by federal agencies with independent, third-party scientist oversight" and "a hard stop to all current in-water activity by the offshore wind industry, until the investigation is complete." Environmental groups that support wind power swung into action. Allison McLeod of the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters said observers on offshore wind survey vessels had reported no whale encounters and "it is therefore irresponsible to assign blame to offshore wind energy development before a routine full investigation is completed." |
