At Sandbridge Beach, we are a community of concerned individuals who share a common goal - to protect our coastal environment and prevent the industrialization of the ocean off the Virginia Beach shoreline. We are deeply worried about the impact that fast-tracked wind turbine development could have on our tourism, fisheries, wildlife, and coastal communities. We believe that developers must demonstrate, beyond any reasonable doubt, that these projects will result in a net benefit for the area before moving forward. However, they often fail to answer specific questions raised by attendees at public wind meetings. As a community, we are calling for non-biased public meetings where developers can present evidence to support their claims. Unfortunately, these meetings are few and far between, and they are often filled with wind propaganda. We believe that it is essential for the public to have access to accurate and reliable information so that they can make informed decisions about the future of our coast. Join us in our efforts to protect the natural beauty and biodiversity of Sandbridge Beach, and to promote sustainable development that benefits our local communities. Together, we can ensure that our coast remains a vibrant and thriving ecosystem for generations to come.
We urge you to research these important topics for yourself. Explore the links we've provided and become informed. Whether you're for or against it, we believe that being well-informed is essential. Join us in the fight to protect our environment and promote sustainability.
