Ridgewood NJ, new independent data suggests whale deaths surge is in tandem with and proximity to offshore wind survey vessel activities. Period. Chart updated thru June 5, 2023. This data proves the correlation and real linkage, a fact that NOAA ignores.
The data come from Mike Dean an Ocean Advocate , Independent Researcher and Jersey Shore Lifer.
“We have a very strong temporal and geographic correlation between whale deaths and offshore wind ship surveying using sonar. The impact of sonar is well documented and agreed upon by NOAA to harass ocean mammals in large numbers in their approved Take permits. They should be ashamed of themselves as well as the paid off environmental groups who accepted money from Orsted and Big Wind. To suggest there is no linkage doesn’t pass the red face test.”
Again a reminder if you don’t do your job somebody is going to do it for you , that’s how the Ridgewood blog was born .

Funny, I think I just read it. Is something newsworthy only if it comes from approved government sources? If so, that’s very Soviet thinking.
It’s interesting to see the Left’s evolution of this issue.
1980s – “Save the Whales!”
2020s – “Screw the Whales. Let’s Subsidize Chinese Greenhouse Gas Emissions Supremacy”
Hello James, i was wondering if you would be willing to share your sources for the whale deaths & survey vessels. I would suggest not using cumulative whale deaths. But perhaps whale deaths documented weekly. Your graph appears to possibly indicate, Sonar prior to December 2022 had little to no effect on the whale population.
It is documented that 34 humpbacks died 2017, 33 died – 2020, so far 33 died 2023. Any documentation on sonar those years?
