🐋 5 Reasons Why Wind Farms Can Be a Problem for Humpback Whales
Did you know that something meant to help the Earth—like wind farms—might actually be causing trouble for whales? In this video, we explain how humpback whales, those big, beautiful ocean giants, can be affected by wind farms built in the ocean.
You’ll learn:
-
Why the loud sounds from building and running wind turbines can confuse whales who talk to each other with sounds
-
How whales could bump into parts of the wind farms or boats nearby
-
How wind farms can block the paths whales use to travel across the ocean
-
What happens when whales get stuck in ropes or trash that collects around wind farms
-
How building wind farms can harm the places whales need to eat and have babies
We still need clean energy, but it’s important to make sure we protect the animals who live in the ocean too. Watch the video to learn how we can help keep whales safe! 🐳💙
