This was an educational and informative fundraiser. Defend Brigantine Beach and DownBeach are working very hard to spread awareness to the public about the pending doom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Offshore Wind will have serious negative impacts on home values, tourism, fisheries, utility bills, consistent electrical power and ocean creatures.
Please go to our website-Defendbrigantinebeach.org to learn more about how you can help.
Impending doom to Atlantic Ocean and Pinelands. What the wind turbines are to the Ocean, the generator substations are to the offshore communities.
The destruction from the EMF cables through the waters, beaches, the island, down roadways, and into the Pinelands communities will be irreparable.
