Is work on offshore wind turbines to blame for recent whale deaths along the New Jersey coast? Scientists say no. Facebook says yes.
A juvenile humpback whale that washed ashore on the Atlantic City beach on Jan. 7, 2023, was rolled up toward the dunes and buried the next day after a necropsy. “Windy was a young humpback whale taken in the prime of her life,” read the caption on a March 3 post in the Facebook group Protect our Coast NJ showing the diseased humpback whale on the beach near Seaside Park.The caption ended with five emojis: prayer hands, crying face, whale, blue heart, another prayer hands.
Election conspiracy theories soon followed, with New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy a frequent target of derision. “Conflating two companies with similar names is another amateur scare tactic being used by groups whose sole focus is to stall the progress of New Jersey’s clean energy future.” “There’s not a shred of evidence connecting ocean wind farms or surveying activities to the harming of whales,” said CEO Joris Veldhoven, in an interview.
