A growing chorus of interest groups is calling for a pause in offshore wind activities to allow further assessment of the sector’s effects on the marine ecosystem.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) introduced a congressional resolution on March 21 to halt work on East Coast offshore wind projects until there can be investigations into their possible effect on marine mammals.Fishing groups and local residents have filed five lawsuits against wind projects that have been proposed or are under construction along the Atlantic seaboard.
