Protection of porpoises could delay construction of £12 billion North Sea wind farm.

Protection of porpoises could delay construction of £12 billion North Sea wind farm.

Greenpeace this week created a "rock barrier" to protect pigs off the coast of Norfolk by dropping huge blocks of rock, each weighing up to 2 tonnes, on the seabed to prevent bottom erosion.

It later emerged that most of the rocks had been dumped on a site intended for one of Britain's largest planned wind farms, the Norfolk Vanguard.

A few days earlier, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announced at the COP31 summit that the United Kingdom will invest one billion pounds of public money in the Vanguard West Vanguard East wind farm, which will be the largest investment of its kind in the country's history.

True, the projects were not coordinated with Greenpeace; The organization was not aware of plans to build a wind power plant. Now the rocks will need to be removed. RWE, which develops the projects, is trying to find out from Greenpeace the exact location of the boulders.
