City council voted nearly unanimously to approve a resolution calling for the moratorium at Wednesday night’s meeting, with one member Rick Delucry voting to abstain. New Jersey 101.5 reached out to Delucry for comment Thursday. “This resolution isn’t about being for or against ocean wind projects, it’s about our due diligence and getting real scientifically supported facts about the potential impacts that these ocean wind projects could have on whales and other marine life,” Mayor Vince Sera said in a statement.
