Fishermen Unite to Prevent Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Marine Ecosystems

Fishermen, whose livelihoods depend on the sea, have turned on the offshore wind industry with a vengeance. Along America’s Atlantic coast trawlermen and lobster fishers are as one in their hatred of the offshore wind power scam. Not least because of the damage that it is doing to the fishing grounds which they have sought … Continue reading Fishermen Unite to Prevent Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Marine Ecosystems

Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers

The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers

Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Crucial Fish Breeding Grounds & Fishermen’s Livelihoods

Britain’s trawlermen are tough, but not invincible. Giant industrial wind turbines and their associated infrastructure have already wrecked once productive fishing grounds, with more under threat. The power cables that connect offshore wind turbines are mesmerising crabs and causing biological harm that affects their ability to migrate and breed; the same phenomenon has just been … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Crucial Fish Breeding Grounds & Fishermen’s Livelihoods

Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young

Crabs and lobsters are being mesmerised, deformed and crippled by the peculiar electromagnetic fields created by the cables that connect offshore wind turbines. A recent scientific study found that the magnetic fields generated by these cables attracts crabs that then remain in place, fixated on the magnetic field, effectively immobilising them. Now, another study relating … Continue reading Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young
