Are the construction of offshore windfarms unique in this regard? What about other construction in the ocean? Piers, waterfront building etc. If not, I find it odd that it's framed as an "offshore wind turbine" issue and not a "ocean construction" issue.

Not only that, but construction is usually once and done, besides maintenance or repairs. Unlike ship paths that are ongoing indefinitely.

And this discussion is disregarding the net benifits of why we’re building wind farms to begin with. It’s a weird dig at wind farms.
