Because that's where they live.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says it's something something some other thing about windmills from Holland and all of the dust coming in from Nevada that produces the oil-related fumes from Venezuela and then space lasers kill them.

If only East and West Coast lib-bruhs would study her assignments more, than we'd know about our whales. Obviously.

I'll add this [/s] just in case.

Somehow or other, it’s always Gov. Murphy’s fault

The Hudson is cleaner than it’s been in decades, so there’s more feeder fish in the travel lanes which leads to more boat strikes and net entanglements.

Looks like the anti-wind crowd got a new round of funding!

Why now? There were whales feeding in the area since last summer. Lots of them! All of a sudden the boats are a problem?

I'm going to guess it's avian flu. There have been recent reports of other marine mammals (seals) being found dead with it...I can't believe it wouldn't jump to others like whales and dolphins...sadly...

Ok, downvote away...it must be sonar....BUT...

It’s not “all of a sudden”. It’s just noticeable now due to numbers … plus a concerted effort to blame the deaths on the offshore wind farm work that’s going on.

Ahh ok. So you agree that a noticeably larger numbers of whales are suddenly dying? Got it. This makes perfect sense.

And they’ve been increasing since 2006.

So, not the Gotcha! you want it to be.

We don’t talk about this

And these numbers of deaths in such a short time span are not the usual numbers. There is something wrong here and Phil "Follow the science" is very concerned it's going to kill his green energy project. So concerned that he's opted to put his head in the sand and conveniently ignore the problem.

Ahhh, yes. Like you have a shit about the whales before it showed up on FNC. You know the whales that have been washing up aren’t affected by sonar, right? Or did you not follow the science to actual facts?

The real problem is that the whale are beaching themselves because they know you exist.

Less than half were said to be struck by ships. We don't know about the others. We should follow the science and find out.

Surveying, wind farms, sonar. Although they say there’s “no evidence their sonar is killing whales” which is bullshit and they can say whatever they want. The three dolphins that were just dead and washed up off Sandy Hook just so happened to be at the same time there was surveying and sonar boats in that area. But it’s all a coincidence. Sonar kills whales and other marine life, and that is proven. And that’s what’s happening in front of all of our eyes.

Was in peru recently and sea lions were washing up on shore, unable to break the wave to get back out. My S/O's family was trying to revive a nonmobile sealion by pouring water on it but it was fruitless, because all along the shore stronger sealions couldnt break out. It was bird flu, I don't know why you are being downvoted, it seems to be a known serious issue with marine life and could be correct.

I shot all the others. I love to ride out into the ocean on my boat with my .357 Magnum and search for humpbacks to fill with holes.

They are Using high frequency sonar to map the sea floor. This really screws up whales. They will beach themselves to get away from the sound waves in the water thus killing themselves.

Thanks, and the death of all of these animals is a shame....I'm being downvoted because many people would rather believe conspiracy theories, that support that idiot Trumps disdain of offshore wind turbines, with garbage they see on facebook or fox news over the truth about a known serious issues with marine mammals with scientific research backing up the findings ...

This has been used, for years, all over the world. For many different reasons. No mass death of sea life.

Related: I find it amazing that a lot of the new "save the whales!" crowd intersects with the "drill baby drill" crowd, and neither could have given a fuck about sea life twenty years ago.

While little is known about any direct physiological effects of sonar waves on marine species, evidence shows that whales will swim hundreds of miles, rapidly change their depth (sometime leading to bleeding from the eyes and ears), and even beach themselves to get away from the sounds of sonar.

They’re actually doing air blasting of the sea floor to test stability for the future windmills. It effects the marine life, confuses, disorients and also causes them to flee, beach, collide with boats, etc. . But our government saying nothing is amiss here…🤮

Lol and here you go showing your bullshit bias.. maybe you should stop getting your “science” from politicians lmfao

>whale hit by a boat

Those goddamm windmills!!!

Maybe the Russians have upped their presence in the Atlantic and their “suicide” sonar is killing them.

Our president doesn’t even care about his own country. He’s in Ukraine caring about his money right now instead of the environment. Glad I never voted for these idiots.

Agree!!

Everyone I talk to is saying it’s because we switched from wind powered ships to the spinning blades under water powered ships.
