This has been a regional story for New Jersey and Long Island for the last year however has expanded on the East Coast from North Carolina through Maine now. Unfortunately, the mainstream media isn't touching this story (at least truthfully/completely) and there are a lot of grassroots organizations and individuals who have realized this are doing the work to expose the truth.
Over the past week, 5 dead whales have died outside offshore wind sites. On 2/29 two whales in Rhode Island. An endangered Fin Whale swam up into a pond which had to be euthanized and a Pilot whale a few miles away on a beach. Over the weekend 3 whales around Virginia Beach. A Humpback whale in the Chesapeake bay, a Humpback whale on Virginia Beach, and third Minke whale on Northern Outer banks all in the same region. Additionally, 5 dolphins died in New Jersey (3 Common Dolphins, 1 Bottle Nose dolphin which swam up a river and a Striper Dolphin).
Here is a good map for the Offshore Wind Sites being funded by blue states and by the Biden Administration:

These are not your windmills that you have seen before. These are mega sized wind turbines that the world has not seen yet, each only a couple hundred feet smaller than the Empire State Building (closer to the size of the Chrysler Building). New Jersey Governor has plans to build 5,000+ of these wind turbines to meet his energy goals starting at only 7 miles off the coast. Much of these projects are still in their planning phases, which are doing their first of killing by sonar and drilling.
Each project has a thorough environmental study that is done, then they need to submit to the NOAA the amount of harmful harassments they plan to do by each species and estimated counts. These counts are now in the hundreds of the thousands are submitted and are public record.
If that's not controversial enough, here is the controversy. The NOAA that is run by Biden political appointments, deny any link of offshore wind death even though there is a public record linking to their own records on "takes" for the animals. In New Jersey at least, Offshore wind has run PR campaigns denying that there is a link too.
The environmental groups (at least in NJ) are dead silent and most assume they have been paid off, which their is some support for. As each animal dies, they make record that necropsies (autopsies) will be done, however in 99% of the cases those result have never been made public since December 2022 when work began and there was significant uptick of deaths.
Now, many of the organizations that are supposed to do the necropsies have received large grants and donations, including have Offshore Wind, Labor Unions, and material suppliers are on their Boards of Directors which is an obvious conflict of interest.
As the two dead whales arrived on Rhode Island, they stated that they would perform a necropsy. Offshore Wind opponents were quick to point out that, a 1.25M grant was given to the aquarium by Revolution Wind (Orsted) (Conflict of Interest) doing the necropsy, and behold a couple days later one of they are saying early now that it died from a "brain infection".

The three that died by Virginia beach are linked to Dominion Offshore Wind, which has just begun work in the last week. The neighbors in the area are experiencing being destroyed by the construction going on. (1 Humpback and 2 Minkes which they just met the quota for this particular small part of the very large project).

This is going to be a massive story going forward, as more truth is uncovered and a lot of dead animal will be washing ashore and people see what is happening.
