NOAA proposes massively cruel offshore sonar survey
By David Wojick |June 5th, 2023|1 Comment
You would think that with all the uproar over whale deaths, NOAA and the offshore wind industry would be more careful about harassing huge numbers of marine mammals. On the contrary NOAA’s latest proposal sets a new record for needless cruelty.
NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is taking comments on an outrageously destructive harassment proposal from Invenergy Wind, off the coast of New Jersey, where whale deaths have been greatest. Here is the proposal:

It is called a “site characterization survey” and it does include a new offshore wind development site that Invenergy picked up last year with a whopping bid of $645 million. That apparently buys a lot of Federal cooperation, because this is nothing like a site survey.
You see the site is a mere 131 square miles, while the proposed sonar blasting survey area is over 6,000 square miles. In other words the site is a mere 2% of the survey area, so it is clearly not a site survey.
