Greenpeace offices and activists worldwide have worked to protect whales and the oceans they call home for decades. We’re also massive fans of renewables, which we need to build a tonne of to phase out gas and coal and tackle the climate emergency.

So when we started seeing posts online claiming offshore wind farms were killing whales, we decided to investigate.

The short answer: no, offshore wind farms aren’t killing whales.

The longer answer is a little bit more complicated – but building offshore wind is way, way better for ocean wildlife than fossil fuels, especially offshore gas and oil.
