The claim that offshore wind farms will harm coastal tourism economies is unsupported by evidence. Offshore wind farms are unlikely to harm coastal tourism-based economies, and evidence suggests they may even provide benefits without significantly impacting tourist experiences.Offshore turbines are often placed far enough from shore that they do not obstruct beachside views or detract from the coastal experience. Studies indicate that most tourists visiting coastal areas are drawn by the beach itself, not the distant horizon. In fact, some wind farms attract visitors interested in renewable energy, offering potential for environmental tourism and sustainability tours.(1)Additionally, coastal tourism continues to thrive despite offshore wind development. States like California, New York, and Florida, which lead to employment and GDP for ocean-based tourism, demonstrate that the industry can coexist with offshore wind development.(1)
