I've been in favor of this for years. The only thing that can think of is that fixing them is gonna be a mother if then break.

I think they’re great, don’t spoil the view at all. Right now it’s tankers out there. So symbolic that, ahem, some people would prefer the tankers.

Ocean Beach, Lavallette, Seaside Park, Point Pleasant… I love the vibe of Ocean Beach 3 everyone is down to earth and kind, Colonial Bakery sustains me through the summer

I've been saying for a while now that it's plausible (I use the Mythbusters scale here that goes busted-plausible-confirmed), but there's something else besides the sonar that's killing them. Some woman who's an artist based in South Jersey keeps posting this article and while it makes sense, there's a lot more that doesn't right now. If the sonar is scaring the whales, then what's killing them? Not the sonar itself, that's for sure. Either they're running into something or it's something else.

You're not, I think they're cool.

I remember when a guy sued Harvey Cedars because they built up the dunes, which he claimed ruined the view from his beachfront house.

Initially he won, but then the town won on appeal, where the judge said that if the dunes hadn't been raised, his house probably would have been washed away by Sandy.

Am I the only one who thinks wind turbines are aesthetically pleasing and relaxing to watch?

I know a guy who runs a Facebook group where he reposts right wing BS, pretending it's actual analysis. I'm almost positive he gets paid by some PAC to do it, because he's posted from some Koch Foundation event where he got an award for being the best astroturfer, or something.

Anyway, he suddenly cares about the whales, too. It's hilarious how transparent it really is.

I'm part of nonprofit environmental organization.

We wrote to Clean Ocean Action telling them that there is no truth to any of their claims and its a bunch of pseudoscience political nonsense. Our President even talked to one of their organizers about their false claims directly. It did not go well.

In the last 5-10 years COA went from a helpful organization to a political one. Don't believe anything they say...they simply do what they want now to promote their own agenda, facts be damned.

As far as I'm aware, we don't know exactly yet.

Because old people have a fuck you mentality and don’t want to pay for the quality education that they received

Old people leaving is important. It frees up houses for the rest of us

Nah fuck the wind build tidal generators instead they're less maintenance intensive and more efficient

The automatic ticket machines populate when you scan the code from the driver’s license.

It is right on your physical registration as well as when you look up the license plate in the computer database

There's been an uptick well before the sonar mapping. NOAA says it's most likely due to vessel strikes.

Exactly. A friend of my wife's has never recycled a single thing but she's on this whale thing like nobody's business.

Maritime vessels have been using sonar for something like 80 years

Honestly I couldn’t care less. Everyone in this state is a horrible driver.

Sushi palace on rt 27 in Kingston (or south Brunswick or Princeton town names are confusing there).

sorry to be the ignoramus here, but what are the facts surrounding the uptick in dead whales along the Jersey shore?

That’s such a bullshit argument because they won’t be visible 80% of the time AND there are already ducking garbage barges and oil tankers off the coast.

also they don't want to spoil their million dollar ocean views with a couple windmills in the ocean lol
