for us. thank you, this is an odd phenomenon. dozens of dead whales have been watching up along the east coast. nobody has provided answers as to exactly why. the u.s. government is blaming it on vessel strikes. some groups went to the vast expansion of offshore wind projects. going straight to the people that spend their days out there on the seas. local fisherman at the jersey shore. what are causing the deaths? seems obvious to me, it s got to be the high intensity sonar to check the bottom out for these wind mills. they re pounding the bottom constantly. not only that, that pounding noise affects their hearing.
worried. much of the town here in point pleasant relies on boating tourism for it s livelyhood including the hotels, restaurants, and the fishing fly store. if people are not walking through my doors well be out of business. in a statement, they said the proposed restriction is necessary for the wright wheal if is to reduce the mortalities from vessel strikes and a greater opportunity to recover. the problem with the biden administration argument here is that there has only been five known whale strikes of boats under 65 feet in 15 years. the fact that even if you use noaa s calculate collations, the chances of a strike is one in a million. port traffic will grind to a

farms? the management solutions for vessel strike are to slow vessels down if you cannot move them out of whale habitat. 10 knots is a good one to aim for. we have technologies we re developing for listening for them with mobil gliders and also using infrared cameras with automatic detection of these animals looking thermally for the heat of the animals as they surface. so better awareness and slower ships and management of shipping lanes have all been important pieces of the attempts to reduce blunt trauma and propeller trauma with vessel strikes, from whatever cause, whether it be a wind farm ship, navy ship, cargo
whale along new york/new jersey s coast as of late, according to the national oceanic atmospheric administration some ten whales have beached themselves since last december. in this case noh released a statement saying preliminary findings indicate that a vessel strike is the likely cause of death, however, we will know more once the results of the samples become available. in the past noaa was concluded that vessel strikes and climate change represent some of the leading threats to humpback whales, though some lawmakers and environmental groups question if off-shore wind farm development could also be playing a role. i really do believe you don t destroy the environment to save the environment. facts matter. if we don t have the facts let s try to get them. reporter: but noaa disputes a connection saying there have been elevated humpback deaths along the atlantic coast since 2016, before offshore and wind farm development took place. noaa is a science-based
