Abstract: . . .  anticipated to be minimal. We do recommend rigorous monitoring of these marine species. Denmark’s Horns Rev and Nysted offshore wind farms provide appropriate models for devising such monitoring protocols. Part VII. The Context – Rapid Climate Change This Challenge is also based on the weighing of the environmental benefits and detriments of the project against the documented and substantial impacts associated with the extraction, transportation, use, and disposal of fossil and nuclear fuels including, . . .

If Cape Wind Associates and the agencies accept this proposal, and remaining data gaps are filled with a finding of no ecologically significant threat, Mass Audubon will support the Cape Wind Project, the largest clean renewable energy project in the Northeast. The Cape Wind Energy Project consists of 130 . . .

Our goal is to radio tag up to 25 ducks and to locate each duck at least ten times from the air. Aerial tracking of tagged ducks will be supplemented with boat tracking and point counts conducted at dusk on Horseshoe Shoal.  . . .

As quoted from this report: “No birds were recorded as passing the sweep area of the rotor-blades nor colliding with any part of the turbine during the 28,571 minutes…of monitoring.” 36 Mass Audubon submitted an estimate of tern mortality from the Cape Wind project in its comments on the DEIS. These estimates were based on the probability of collision mortality published in Everaert, op.cit and Mass Audubon’s survey data. The latter were extrapolated to number of tern transits per day. These mortality . . .
