Martha's Vineyard Ocean Wind Turbine Cables Vs Marine Life

1. Underwater noise: There are clear indications that underwater noise caused by the installation of sub-sea cables poses a high risk of harming marine fauna. There is a potential for disturbance of fish and marine mammals. Like the Falmouth land-based wind turbines mitigation measures should be considered as a precaution in sensitive areas.

2. Electromagnetic fields: Electromagnetic fields are generated by 200 Kv operational ocean power cables.

3. Heat: When high voltage electric energy is transported, a certain amount gets lost as heat, leading to increased temperature of the cable surface and subsequent warming of the surrounding environment. There is evidence that various marine organisms react sensitively to an even minor increase in the ambient temperature.

Muskeget Channel is shallow and notoriously prone to shoaling in the strong currents.

The Rhode Island ocean wind turbine electric cable remains exposed. The exposed power cable has existed since 2016

Don't let it happen to you again !

Look what happened in Falmouth and twenty-one other communities with the failed land based wind turbine fiasco over noise and shadow flicker.

Tens years of litigation and state regulators new the turbines were too loud before they were installed.
