This latest whale death comes as environmental groups from New Jersey and New York call on President Joe Biden to approve a probe into the recent deaths of multiple whales in the area.
Orsted, the Danish wind power developer tabbed to build two of the three offshore wind projects approved thus far in the waters off New Jersey, said its current work off the New Jersey coast does not involve using sounds or other actions that could disturb whales.
Brigantine's mayor, Vince Sera, joined in the call for a temporary halt to offshore wind site prep, as did U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Republican congressman representing southern New Jersey. "NOAA Fisheries has not authorized, or proposed to authorize, mortality or serious injury for any wind-related action," agency spokesperson Lauren Gaches said.
