Wind is one of the most regulated maritime industries in the U.S. for wildlife. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/new-england-mid-atlantic/marine-life-distress/frequent-questions-offshore-wind-and-whales https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/topic/offshore-wind-energy https://www.nrdc.org/bio/francine-kershaw/south-fork-wind-also-victory-whales https://www.noia.org/the-truth-about-the-coexistence-of-offshore-wind-farms-with-marine-mammals/ https://waterkeeper.org/news/robert-f-kennedy-jr-resigns-as-waterkeeper-alliance-president/
