Opponents to New Jersey offshore wind project raise concerns of impact on protected wetland

New Jersey shore residents raised alarm bells that an offshore wind project would negatively affect the air quality of a protected wetland.

An offshore wind project planned just nine miles off the coast of New Jersey is waiting on approval for a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency, but residents from Jersey Shore communities raised concerns that the project’s construction will endanger the air quality in the Brigantine Natural Wilderness Area.
