This is what the wind farmers claim . . .

Block Island results after construction:

• Black sea bass catches increased over 1,200% within the wind farm
• Winter flounder showed 10-fold increases in blue mussel consumption (eating off the turbines)
• Structure-oriented species thrived

This is part of an article on wind farming effects on fisheries. you can find the entire piece here.

Can anyone confirm these changes? I'm thinking that @captmike28 should have something on this

Maybe the wind farm attracted all the fish and sucked them all in and thats why there are very few 16-1/2” anywhere else????

How did they quantify those results?

How do you observe a winter flounder consuming 5x amount of blue mussels?

Was this study done by an outside, non-biased entity or the windfarm company themselves?

Just more windfarm propaganda!

I think it's all BS.
