Another endangered whale washes up along the Virginia coast

At least nine dead humpback whales have been found in the New York and New Jersey area since December 1st. Another dead whale was discovered in the past week off the southeastern coast of Virginia, the third whale this year to be found dead miles from Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW), one of two functioning wind farms in federal waters. Some are speculating the recent deaths of the region’s endangered whales may be connected to the operations taking place at nearby wind farm facilities.
