It is the effect they will have the locality. The other night the Victorian Swanage pier featured on BBC in "Heritage under threat" A point was made that the pier gains a significant income from the Dive Boats. The diving is the best along the south coast. Take a look at the plans for the wind farm and you will see that a great deal of the sites are in the wind farm area. How do you rescue a diver with bends from the middle of a wind farm? Take a walk along the Durlston cliffs during the breeding season and watch the guilemots and razorbills flying out to sea to get fish for their young. The direction is straight towards the area of the proposed Wind Farm. Watch the migrating birds pass over your head in spring and autumn from Durlston Country Park, either in from the proposed Wind Farm area or out towards it. The sea bed in that area is rich in life and many local incomes depend upon it, so before we turn it into a construction site and destroy it forever, think carefully - is it worth it. This wind farm will only last 25 years. Take a look at California and the thousands of decomissioned windmills. They have been responsible for almost wiping out the Bald Eagle. Our future should not depend on a few people making loads of money out of Government Grants.So they can't dive somewhere in that area? the birds are stupid & will fly straight into them? i've watched quite a few wildlife programs where there are Wind turbines & the birds fly between them or around them so please don't use this as an excuse to object" Your name Your email Reason Please note we will not accept reports with HTML tags or URLs in them.
