Manasquan NJ, another dead whale washed up off the shore of Manasquan, making the incident at least the ninth whale found dead on New York and New Jersey beaches .The Marine Mammal Stranding Center team is on the scene to try to determine what type of whale it was and what caused it to die. Around 20 whales have been found dead in the last few months along the entire East Coast. It has become an environmental concern.
A dozen New Jersey mayors signed a letter to Congress, calling for the immediate stoppage of all offshore wind farm research. There is division on the issue. Local environmental groups, such as Clean Ocean Action, have also said the link to wind farms and the dead whales needs to be looked at.
“We’re looking at a massive industrialization of the ocean never ever even imagined and this is just the precursor of that. We’re already seeing so many dead whales,” says Cindy Zipf, of Clean Ocean Action.
Some so called “climate activists” say it’s premature to make the connection and Federal environmental and energy officials have said that “the offshore wind power industry is not to blame”.
Just another reason Murphy sucks!

And to all you nattering naybobs of negativism – here’s an idea! Stop thinking you are responsible for every single good/bad event on the planet – you just ain’t that important.
.Funny how climate change started as global warming then there were record cold temps, snow storms so Kerry, Gore had the name changed to climate change to fit the liberal elite narrative.
Your own website lists human activity and environmental change as 2 causes.
If anything it deserves a real look. But Mr GS who is the most arrogant politician in NJ, knows better than everyone. Every policy he puts in place is to satisfy the lobbyists, his donors and the corporations who benefit, have zero impact on his family w wealth of qtr billion $.
