Over the past several years dead whales have been washing ashore along the coast of New Jersey in unprecedented numbers.

Since December 2022, there have been over 60 reported deaths and these are just the ones that made it to the beach.

People have been wondering if a large windmill farm located out in the ocean is to blame for this unusual spurt of deaths. READ: 7th Dead Whale Washes Up Near Planned Green Energy Hotspot – Are Offshore Wind Projects Killing Them?

While government officials have tried to deny any connection to the wind farms, a recent documentary, “Thrown to the Wind” says the windmill farm is both directly and indirectly to blame.

The New York Post explains:

“The film documents surprisingly loud, high-decibel sonar emitted by wind industry vessels when measured with state-of-the-art hydrophones. And it shows that the wind industry’s increased boat traffic is correlated directly with specific whale deaths.” […]

“The first is through boat traffic in areas where there hasn’t historically been traffic. The second is through high-decibel sonar mapping that can disorient whales, separate mothers from their calves, and send them into harm’s way, either into boat traffic or poorer feeding grounds.”
