Nevertheless, fear-mongering calls for a moratorium on wind power projects in the region benefit Big Oil\u2019s fight against a just transition to renewable energy, while only pretending to care about local whale populations.<\/p>\n<p>The perils of spreading misleading, false information may seem less immediate than a whaler\u2019s harpoon. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/news\/in-the-dark-how-social-media-companies-climate-disinformation-problem-is-hidden-from-the-public\/\">climate disinformation<\/a> moves us further away from the real solutions to the climate crisis that all living creatures so desperately need.<\/p>\n<p>To debunk the dangerous disinformation distracting from the true dangers facing whale populations in this region of the Atlantic Ocean, we\u2019ve consulted two-longtime oceans experts: Greenpeace USA\u2019s Oceans Campaigns Director John Hocevar and Greenpeace USA\u2019s Senior Oceans Campaigner Arlo Hemphill.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s set the record straight:<\/p>\n<p><b>Is there any evidence connecting recent whale deaths to offshore wind farming?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been a lot of talk about wind turbines and whale deaths, but there is no evidence whatsoever connecting the two. Meanwhile, the oceans face more threats now than at any time in history,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/02\/21\/fact-check-are-wind-turbines-killing-whales-off-americas-atlantic-coast\">said<\/a> Hemphill.<\/p>\n<p><b>How did wind power even end up in the conversation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a cynical disinformation campaign,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2023\/02\/11\/whale-deaths-and-windmills\/11178432002\/\">said<\/a> Hocevar. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem to worry them that it\u2019s not based in any kind of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>What are actual experts focusing on?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the climate deniers and the right-wing pundits are tilting at windmills,&#8221; Hocevar said, \u201cmost of us are focused on the real threats to whales: climate change, entanglement with fishing gear, ship strikes and plastic pollution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>What can we learn from previous whale deaths in the region? `<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201c<\/b>The number of humpbacks washing up in New Jersey, New York, and Maryland recently is cause for alarm. This follows the discovery of over 170 dead whales that have washed ashore on the US East Coast since 2016,\u201d said Hemphill. \u201cOf the portion of those on which a post-mortem was conducted,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.noaa.gov\/national\/marine-life-distress\/2016-2023-humpback-whale-unusual-mortality-event-along-atlantic-coast#causes-of-the-humpback-whale-ume\"> a large percentage showed signs of human interaction<\/a>, including boat strikes and fishing net entanglements. In these latest cases, it\u2019s too early to say what is responsible for all of these deaths, but we know that plastic garbage, ship strikes, ocean noise, entanglement and drowning in fishing gear are among the most common causes of whale mortality. The causes of the deaths that have been verified so far this year are ship strikes and fishing gear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>What can we do in order to protect whales from real threats?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot at stake, and we need answers to ensure we are doing what\u2019s best for people and the planet. At this time, due to the lack of evidence suggesting harm from offshore wind development, Greenpeace\u2019s position remains that the best way to protect whales is to create ocean sanctuaries, eliminate single-use plastics at the source, and stop our dependency on oil and gas. The current negotiations for a Global Ocean Treaty and the upcoming ones for a <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.us.greenpeace.org\/OnlineActions\/LqU29HfYxEmqVX_7_MOwVQ2?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=actioncard&amp;utm_campaign=gpt_inc1&amp;sourceid=1014893&amp;_ga=2.266472398.1701880194.1677011946-1467595866.1660660962\">Global Plastics Treaty<\/a> are important opportunities that we should seize to make progress in these areas,\u201d said Hemphill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenpeace offices and activists around the world have worked to protect whales and the oceans they call home for decades.
