NOAA gave 'permission' for Ocean Wind (the developer) to incidentally kill marine mammals for 5 years during the construction of the project. When the project is complete, whales will prob be OK, (thats when they'll start killing birds).
"The requested ITR would govern the authorization of take, by both Level A
and Level B harassment, of small numbers of marine mammals over
a 5-year period incidental to construction-related pile driving
activities (impact and vibratory), potential unexploded ordnances or
munitions and explosives of concern detonation, and high-resolution
geophysical (HRG) site characterization surveys conducted by Ocean Wind
in Federal and State waters off of New Jersey for the Ocean Wind 1
offshore wind energy facility"
