Save the whales
A mass stranding of 77 pilot whales in Orkney last week followed the large stranding on the Isle of Lewis last year. It is known that on both occasions seismic surveys for offshore windfarms were being conducted off the islands. Dr Andrew Brownlow, Director of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme, stated: “It is becoming more common in Scotland and it is vital to know why.”
Until those answers are forthcoming we need an immediate moratorium on offshore wind farm development or we risk losing everything we hold dear.
