Wind Project In New Jersey
In a published article by AP News, the Atlantic Shores offshore wind project in New Jersey has received preliminary approval but may “adversely affect” whales and other marine mammals, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
However, NOAA stated that the project’s construction, operation, and dismantling will not cause serious harm or death to these animals. The project is not expected to endanger any endangered species or damage critical habitats. Jennifer Daniels, the development director of Atlantic Shores, expressed that NOAA’s decision is progress for the project.
