A panel of Democratic elected officials and environmental groups says climate change, spurred by the burning of fossil fuels, is the greatest danger to the world's oceans and marine life.
Wildlife and environmental agencies are investigating after a 7th whale washed ashore in recent weeks on a New Jersey beach.Climate change, spurred by the burning of fossil fuels, is the biggest danger to marine life including whales, a panel of Democratic officials and environmental groups said Monday.
The event came a week after U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. and other New Jersey Congressional Democrats wrote to the White House Council on Environmental Quality "demanding real solutions in response to the death of marine mammals off New Jersey’s coast." At Monday's event, Pallone said, "The science has not linked the whale deaths to offshore wind activities. Climate change is the biggest threat to marine mammals."
As Ed Potosnak of the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters put it, "They're having a picnic in the Parkway; they're getting hit." "We study the fisheries, where the fish are, what the populations are, and there is some thought as to the whales following a change, a shift in where the prey is that the whales feed on, which may be a consequence of a change in the ocean itself," Spinrad said. "By moving further inshore these whales are then more vulnerable to things like ship strikes.
