We are residents, homeowners, business owners, fishermen and visitors of the New Jersey coastal communities with one common goal: to stop the development of offshore wind energy off the coast of New Jersey. We are extremely concerned with the speed at which development is moving without comprehensive research evaluating the true effects on our environment, economy, tourism, fisheries, wildlife and coastal communities. Protect Our Coast NJ does NOT support large scale offshore wind! Protect Our Coast NJ does NOT support offshore drilling! Protect Our Coast NJ does NOT support the industrialization of the oceans!

Protect Our Coast NJ is focused on three goals…

• Awareness - Just a short while ago, very few NJ residents were aware of the state and federal plans for offshore wind development. We take pride in knowing our group has raised local, regional and national public awareness of the environmental impacts of offshore wind.

• Education - Our group has highlighted and shared the known risks and dangers, informed the public of the experimental aspects as well as unknowns intentionally omitted from the ads by wind developers, politicians and those with vested interests.

• Action - We have taken action in our towns by meeting and sharing our concerns with our politicians, the Board of Public Utilities, offshore wind companies as well as family, friends and neighbors. We respectfully request that you do the same. Please volunteer your expertise and stay tuned for upcoming events, protests and civic engagements.
