Wind Turbines Whale Mortality 2016 to 2023

Wind Turbines Whale Mortality 2016 to 2023

23 Dead Whales Washed Up on the East Coast Since December

Whales use sound to communicate and navigate over distances of hundreds of miles. Whales produce very low-frequency sounds that travel much quicker and distant under the sea than those same frequencies on land.

A human middle ear works as an impedance equalizer between the outside air's low impedance and the cochlear fluid's high impedance. Whales have no great difference. It's much easier to damage a Whale's hearing.

It's been confirmed the US Navy and National Marine Fisheries reported the Navy sonar drove Whales to the beach. The low-frequency sonar damaged the whale's ear.

A Whale with damaged ears leads to only one conclusion that a deaf whale is a dead Whale as it can no longer navigate or communicate.

Prior to 2016, there was no unusually high rate of deaths of Whales.

In 2016 the United States started building ocean wind turbines off the coast of Rhode Island which marked a dramatic increase in Whale deaths up until now.

In 2017, 78 whales died along the Atlantic coast of the US. 59 died per year in 2018, 2019, and 2020. 31 died in 2021, and 32 died in 2022. More than 10 humpback whales died in east coast waters in 2023.

Scientists say about 40 percent of Whales got hit by ships or caught up in fishing gear. They well could have gotten hit by ships if their hearing and brains are affected by ocean mapping for wind turbines using Sonar.

In 2017 off the coast of the United Kingdom and Ireland at the start of wind turbine construction, around 1000 Whales died another coincidence? At the time it was suggested the wind turbine noise had affected the delicate echolocation mechanisms of the Whales. Experts then as they are now ridiculing any suggestion of hearing or brain damage from construction.

The only common denominator is Whale deaths started with wind turbine construction in 2016 and continue today in New York and New Jersey.

Ocean wind is a political agenda for Green Energy in which federal and state governments have put all their eggs in one basket.

Offshore wind contractors are set to spend $70 billion on the offshore wind along the East Coast.

Massachusetts passed regulations called the Host Community Agreements. One example of HCA is the Town of Falmouth where the offshore wind turbine company can pay the town 20 million over 20 years to bypass all local zoning to place high-voltage cables through the town and place a massive electric substation in a residential vacation destination. Aka the town can sell all its health and safety regulations to the offshore wind company.

Money is taking precedence over the average Jill and Joe and all the marine animals.

The bottom line is everybody gets a bag of money except for your residential property rights and the Whales disappear.

How could anyone with the above facts determine anything except that wind turbine construction is causing deaths?

Follow the money.

Since January 2016, elevated humpback whale mortalities have occurred along the Atlantic coast from Maine through Florida.
