The wind industry\u2019s mindless slaughter of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals is completely legit, thanks to government-backed licenses known as the \u2018Incidental Harassment Authorization<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principal cause of the carnage is the seismic geo-surveys conducted before the turbines get speared into the seabed.

The collisions with shipping are, more often than not, fatal and the whale\u2019s floating carcass simply washes up onshore, as another wind industry statistic. The Federal government marks the fatality down as \u2018incidental harassment\u2019, and its agencies work overtime to exonerate the wind industry with the usual grab bag of lies and obfuscation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POINT PLEASANT NEW JERSEY – FEBRUARY 19: Environmentalists gather during a ‘Save the Whales’ rally calling for a halt to offshore wind energy development along the Jersey Shore on February 19, 2023 in Point Pleasant New Jersey. The rally, hosted by the environmental organization Clean Ocean Action, followed the deaths of numerous whales, Since Dec. 1, 2022 according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA 12 whales have died in NY and NJ (Photo by Kena Betancur\/VIEWpress)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey\u2019s veteran fishing community fears surveying to install offshore wind turbines near the state\u2019s shore is already causing tremendous environmental damage, one local boat captain told Breitbart News, asserting that, in his experience, \u201cdead whales on our beach absolutely and logically have everything to do with the oceanic geo-surveys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey is in the process of approving two major offshore wind projects: the Ocean Wind I and II initiatives owned by the Danish \u201cgreen\u201d energy company \u00d8rsted. Radical leftist Governor Phil Murphy ordered a massive restructuring of the state\u2019s power grid in September to become reliant on \u201c100 percent clean energy by 2035\u201d that has enjoyed enthusiastic support from the White House, which approved Ocean Wind I in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To install the wind turbines necessary for the projects, engineers must survey and map the ground floor to find the ground best able to sustain the massive structures. The survey work being done in anticipation of the installation of these turbines has coincided with a massive increase in the number of dead whales and other marine mammals off the coasts of New York and New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of June, scientists have documented<\/a> at least 14 humpback and minke whales washing ashore dead in the two states compared to nine in all of 2022. Between December and May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) documented 25 dead whales washing ashore along the entirety of the East Coast, nine in New Jersey. The whales washing ashore are dramatic affairs, as they have on several occasions appeared on boardwalk beaches frequented by families, alarming locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most whales who have undergone autopsies after washing ashore showed signs of blunt trauma, suggesting they died by hitting ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran fishermen in New Jersey, who have spent decades studying the sea, say the whale deaths and those of other marine mammals are unprecedented and insist a relationship must exist between the surveying and the deaths. As marine mammals use sonar, the theory suggests that the surveying is disrupting the animals\u2019 ability to know where ships are and thus avoid hitting them. NOAA insists that it has no scientific evidence linking the surveying \u2013 which, like whales, dolphins, and porpoises, uses sonar for echolocation \u2013 to the whale deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt this point, there is no evidence that noise resulting from wind development-related site characterization surveys could potentially cause mortality of whales, and no specific links between recent large whale mortalities and currently ongoing surveys,\u201d NOAA\u2019s website reads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Bogan, the captain of the Gambler recreational fishing vessel in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, said in a letter to his Congressman, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), shared with Breitbart News this week that the whale deaths present an entirely new phenomenon to him \u2013 something unless in the over half a century Capt. Bogan has spent regularly taking his customers out to fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Gambler<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is what is commonly known in the Jersey Shore region as a party boat \u2013 it offers tickets for individual trips to sea for fishermen and provides the service of finding the fish, aiding new fishermen with basic training, providing bait, and fileting the catches. It has been in operation since 1949 as a local family business. It offers trips closer to shore \u2013 for species such as summer flounder (fluke) in the summer \u2013 and trips further out for tuna and other large catches in the colder months, meaning its crew are familiar with the conditions of the sea year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy business runs 10 months out of the year and we employ up to 10 people. Many other businesses in our shore community depend on our business \u2013as we do those businesses,\u201d Bogan explained. \u201cI find it very disturbing that the powers backing the offshore windmill development would claim that there is no correlation between wind research development and the dead whales that continue to wash up on our beaches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my 50+ years of working on the ocean, I have never seen anything remotely like this,\u201d he emphasized. \u201cDead whales on our beach absolutely and logically have everything to do with the oceanic geo-surveys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNOAA was so concerned about slowing our boats down to less than 10 knots (basically a crawl), so as not to strike a whale and yet they signed-off on these invasive surveys, and admitted there would be an \u2018acceptable\u2019 whale mortality involved,\u201d Bogan wrote. \u201cNow, they don\u2019t want to admit there was any mortality coinciding with wind research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to assurances on NOAA\u2019s website, a Bloomberg News report in November unearthed a report from NOAA protected species expert Sean Hayes who warned<\/a> the wind projects \u201cwill likely cause added stress that could result in additional population consequences to a species that is already experiencing rapid decline,\u201d referring to whales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf these whales are dying from boat strikes, then how do we explain the deaths of many porpoises that have playfully swam the bow-wakes of ships for centuries?\u201d he asked. \u201cIn all my years working the ocean: winter, spring, summer and fall \u2014 we have never hit, have seen or know of any boater who has hit a whale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogan described himself as initially \u201copen-minded\u201d about offshore wind, but feels \u201clied to\u201d about the environmental damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>We only know of the whales that were hurt by seismic and sonar research because they float when dead. What of all the other affected sea life that did not come to the surface?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about the letter, Rep. Smith told Breitbart News that Bogan\u2019s experiences and concerns were representative of a growing chorus of voices of maritime professionals at the Shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCaptain Robert Bogan and numerous recreational and commercial fisherman \u2014 who know our sea better than anyone else \u2014 have reached out to me with serious, first-hand observations regarding the aggressive offshore wind industrialization of our Jersey Shore,\u201d Rep. Smith said.  \u201cTragically, their alarming insights about these unprecedented offshore wind projects and the resulting permanent transformation of our marine seascape continue to be ignored by Governor Phil Murphy and the Biden Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe hardworking members of our community who depend on the sea for their livelihoods, and who contribute enormously to our economy, deserve to have their concerns thoroughly addressed\u2014not trivialized, mocked or dismissed,\u201d the Congressman added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogan\u2019s observations in recreational fishing are consistent with those of New Jersey\u2019s commercial anglers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe commercial fishing is extremely upset with the visual observations of dead whales floating at sea,\u201d Brick Wenzel, Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey\u2019s, fishing liaison and a longtime commercial fisherman, told<\/a> Breitbart News in March. \u201cOne vessel said they had seen 3 different whales in one trip. Another had parts of a whale come up in their net. Most of the captains are generational fishers and are in their 60s \u2014 No one has heard of or [has] seen anything like the carnage being witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), whose district borders Rep. Smith\u2019s to the south, similarly told Breitbart News in March that fishermen in his district have been alarmed by the situation for some time out of both fear for the environmental damage and concerns that the wind turbines will harm their fishing grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fishermen have always been concerned, but it wasn\u2019t just enough when it was just the fishermen,\u201d Rep. Van Drew (R-NJ) asserted.<\/a> \u201cAnd now what\u2019s happened is, over time, because of the whales, because of people realizing what these things are going to look like \u2014 we\u2019re going to industrialize the Jersey Shore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reps. Van Drew and Smith led a hearing<\/a> in Wildwood, New Jersey, (Van Drew\u2019s district) in March in which experts testified that, in addition to concerns about the potential mass killing of marine life, the offshore wind turbine projects appeared to interfere with military missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNASA has said that these areas interfere with all their missions out of Wallops Island<\/a>; the Navy has said there is not an area in that whole lease block that does not interfere with DOD [Department of Defense] missions, but BOEM [the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management] is continuing ahead,\u201d Meghan Lapp, the fisheries liaison for the Rhode Island commercial fishing company Seafreeze, said at the event. \u201cWhen I\u2019ve asked them on webinars, like \u2013 the Navy said that this is a problem how can you still be leasing it? \u2018Well, we\u2019re just going to be continuing the discussions.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other concerns regarding the offshore wind facilities are the unclear science regarding disposal of used wind turbines, potential threats to migrating birds, and few answers<\/a> regarding whether or not the turbines could survive major hurricane damage, which New Jersey occasionally experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the lack of clarity regarding the Ocean Wind projects, Rep. Smith spearheaded an effort to begin an investigation into the plan by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which confirmed<\/a> a probe in June. The GAO will reportedly investigate potential effects on \u201cthe environment, the fishing industry, military operations, navigational safety, and more.\u201d
