In this episode of the American Shoreline Podcast, co-hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham dive into the controversial topic of recent whale strandings on the east coast of the US and the alleged connection between these events and the development of offshore wind. Their guest, Dr. Jill Lewandowski, Director of the BOEM Environmental Assessment and the Center for Marine Acoustics, sheds light on how science is used to guide BOEM's decision-making process, particularly in relation to marine mammals and marine acoustics. Dr. Lewandowski emphasizes that there is no scientific evidence linking the whale strandings to offshore wind development.
