Protest Over High Risk Off-Shore Wind Farm Electric Cables Under New Jersey Neighborhoods

August 11, 2024 International, International News, Mid Atlantic, National

A significant community education meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 19, 2024, at 6:30 PM at the Manasquan Community Senior Center, located at 63 Atlantic Ave. The Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Interconnection Cable Project plans to install 700-800 turbines capable of generating nearly 6,000 megawatts of power—significantly more than the now-closed Oyster Creek nuclear plant. These cables, potentially placed 3.5 to 8 feet underground near homes and schools, raise health and environmental concerns, particularly around the Sea Girt Beach landing area, which is home to protected birds and plants. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 08:53

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
