BOEMS virtual model what AC wind farms view will be

[hammer4reel]

Pretty ugly view

[Capt. Debbie]

It must be a really clear day in that conceptual? The towers are 10-15 miles off shore. LAUGHABLE

Not the AC ones . They are approx seven miles off there .




You can see the Asbury tower 13 miles off . You think you won’t see these at 13 off here in our area . They are way taller than that building .

Laughable is that BOEM actually is being honest about the landscape , while others act like they won’t be an eyesore .

Pretty ugly view

This same exact pic is on a delaware sight. I think indianriver inlet fishing. Good for stirring up the pot.

If the offfshore wind farms are built they are arranged for wind capture optimization. Most likey some type of grid pattern. I'm not a huge proponet of offshore wind farms but opponents should at least present an argument based in reality and fact.

1000’ feet tall...that’s a one hundred (100) story building...

There you have the best answer to date on any / all of these posts!
More facts less BS and as stated NOT a proponent of these either the more I research. BUT TBD

They are being built in grid squares , it’s shown on their site as well as the overall for every lease project slated .(my other post shows the grid )

Depending on the angle of view Will definitely distort the appearance .
This is supposedly the generated model being shown by them .
More than likely just cad generated onto a picture .

They came back looking for more funding from the taxpayers, Murphy is going to give them YOUR MONEY. Then if and when they get built your electric bill will triple. In 10-15 years when they can’t maintain them any longer they will be abandoned and left to fall into the sea. Then the taxpayers will again pay, but this time for the clean up . Murphy and company will have long skipped town with their Hedge Fund money....

the list of photosimulations for the project are at https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/atlantic-shores-offshore-wind-construction-and-operations-plan
scroll down to Appendix II-M1. there are 20+ locations each with multiple pictures.

I'll play devil's advocate here.. No one here will complain about those structures after a year or two,as long as there is access for the recreational fishing community.. They will add unprecedented new habitat for bottom dwelling species as well as congregate pelagics closer to shore..Not only that, but they will most likely take a lot of pressure off of hard hit wreck, rock and reef areas that are already well known and well established, making those spots more productive... I write all this on the assumption that recs have access as they do at Block island... Charter/head boat captains can increase their business by offering things such as late afternoon/twilight tours to the wind turbines as well..If you've never been close to one, its hard to describe the experience.. You stand there awe struck at the size and scope of those things.. If nothing else, they are impressive when you are close.. If for some reason they are deemed "off limits" and the area is patrolled by boats with mounted machine guns piloted by jack booted military types in full tac, well then all bets are off.. Its all about access. Those big turbines might become the NJ equivalent of the oil rigs in the Gulf as far as the impact of recreational fishing in NJ... Its coming guys, no stopping it now... I just think it will have more positives as far as fishing than most members here realize.. It all depends on access..... bob

ask the people in Maine how much they helped.this is a waste of time and money.they will all be blackfish wrecks

Actually guys need to get their heads out of the sand .
All the info some of are posting comes directly from each of the companies that have been awarded the lease sections .

All the info on each project is readily available.
How long the build is
How long there will be very limited access to the areas
As well as the big unknown on all of them
Is the actual distance you need to stay off them when the build moratorium stops etc

Guys need to look at the actual impact each zone brings
As well as many leases still haven’t been awarded .
This project could actually take over a decade .
Keeping us from navigating through huge areas .

Add in the 10-11 mph speed limit will entirely change fishing as we know it .

Seeing how poorly EVERY pilot project has gone .
None making it a full five years . Many failing after jyst 2 years
Shows this could possibly turn into the biggest scrap yard ever .

No more seeing this from the beach .
Will need to drive 20 miles off in the boat to see these views again

Great idea. Let’s all rollover while they rape the ocean and our wallets.

all i'm saying is they will add a ton of fishing opportunities... they will increase habitat, not diminish it.. thats been proven time and time again. As far as the fiscal and political issues, I won't comment, and I do understand your position.. I just know there will be a lot of fish around those structures including a lot of big stuff.[large pelagic species]..As long as folks are allowed to fish them, as is the case at Block Island... I am only looking at this as a fisherman.. NOT a resident, so I can understand the consternation.... bob
