ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) A company hoping to build a wind power farm off the coast of southern New Jersey is partnering with Rutgers University and the state s clam industry to study the potential impacts of wind farms on the shellfish.
Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, LLC said Thursday it is funding a study of how New Jersey s valuable clam industry might be impacted by offshore wind farms over the next 30 years. Its cost was not immediately available.
The study also will take the possible impacts of climate change into account.

For centuries, pelagic Sargassum, floating brown seaweed, have grown in low nutrient waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, supported by natural nutrient sources like excretions from fishes and invertebrates, upwelling and nitrogen fixation. Using a unique historical baseline from the 1980s and comparing it to samples collected since 2010, researchers from Florida Atlantic University s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and collaborators have discovered dramatic changes in the chemistry and composition of Sargassum, transforming this vibrant living organism into a toxic dead zone.

BATON ROUGE, La., May 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Sometimes years’ worth of studies and research can turn into a collaboration that will not only help the nation’s military but also coastal land-margin regions around the globe. Such is the case with LSU Civil and Environmental Engineering Professors Scott Hagen and Clint Willson and LSU College of the Coast & Environment Professor Robert Twilley, who recently received a $9.3 million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to work alongside the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory (ERDC-EL) and the University of Delaware to explore how sea-level rise and other impacts of climate change will affect coastal military bases
