This letter from the IRS verifies the 501©3 status for Green Oceans.

“Research consistently demonstrates that people who maintain a strong connection with coastal environments experience greater happiness, life satisfaction, and overall psychological health [3][4].”

In 2017, a total of seventeen North Atlantic right whales died. Unbeknownst to many, in 2017 Deepwater Wind (now Ørsted) also secured permission to disturb marine mammals—including 105 critically endangered North Atlantic right whales (NARW)—within Lease Area 0486.

“The low reproductive rate of right whales is likely the result of several factors including nutrition (Fortune et al. 2013, Moore et al. 2021). Evidence also indicates that North Atlantic right whales are growing to shorter adult lengths than in earlier decades (Stewart et al. 2021) and are in poor body condition compared to southern right whales (Christiansen et al. 2020).”

In light of the Vineyard Wind GE Vernova blade failure, Green Oceans sent a letter to BOEM requesting a supplemental EIS. We have never heard back.

“Nonetheless, the presence and layout of large numbers of WTGs [wind turbines] could make it more difficult for SAR [search and rescue] aircraft to perform operations (of people or marine mammals), leading to less effective search patters or early abandonment of searches. This could result in otherwise avoidable loss of life due to maritime incidents.” page 3.17-8.

“The EWR screening analysis results show that wind turbines in the northern corner of the study area will be within line-of-sight of the Cape Cod AFS EWR at a blade-tip height of 808 feet AGL. At a blade-tip height of 1,067 feet AGL, wind turbines in the northern one-half of the study area will be within line-of-sight of this radar site. See Figure 5.

Research conducted by Westslope suggests that wind turbines in the study area within line-of-sight of the Cape Cod AFS EWR could have a significant impact on this early warning radar. [1]”

The letter from Green Oceans to the RI Facilities Siting Board outlining the risk of jet plowing through the historically polluted West Passage.

The offshore wind energy project, SouthCoast Wind, will build up to five offshore substations to cool down and convert the high-voltage AC cables to high-voltage DC cables. They use an open loop system that will draw up 8-10 million gallons of cold ocean water from deep in the ocean and discharge it back containing chlorinated bleach and warmed to almost 90 degrees.
