"Many whale deaths go unreported because the animals don’t always wash up on shore. For those that do, a team of scientists is often quick to secure the carcass for a necropsy, which can help determine cause of death. According to WHOI whale biologist Mark Baumgartner, offshore wind has never been found to be a contributing factor. “Of all the right whales that have died over the last several decades,” he said, “the cause of death for juveniles and adults is always vessel strike or fishing gear entanglement.” That’s true for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale as well as other whale species. Curiously, those causes of death aren’t mentioned in anti-wind save-the-whale campaigns." https://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/are-offshore-wind-farms-harming-right-whales/
