Calls mount to stop offshore wind project as more whales wash up dead: 'Need to take a very hard look at this'
Fox News
Seafreeze fisheries liaison Meghan Lapp echoed calls for an investigation into whether offshore wind projects are harming marine life after seven dead whales washed ashore.
"I can’t authoritatively say that all off the whales that are washing up are because of offshore wind farms. But what I can tell you is that the seven whales that washed up off New Jersey in the past month have all washed up during intense geotechnical surveying of wind farm leases off of New Jersey," Lapp said Friday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"On the East Coast, there has been an unusual mortality event for humpback whales from 2016 until now," she continued. "The only thing that has changed in the ocean in that time is the fact there have been offshore wind surveys occurring from 2015 until now. Now, magically there are a bunch of humpback whales dying."
