December 2023 Newsletter

About Green Oceans

Green Oceans is a citizens group founded in January 2023 by community members dedicated to combating climate change without sacrificing the biodiversity or health of the ocean. We strive to protect the ocean by informing the public about imminent threats, including the impact of offshore wind on the marine ecosystem.

News & Updates

STATE LAWSUIT UPDATE

On December 5th, Green Oceans’ lawsuit against the RI Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) for violating the constitution, state regulations, and its own responsibilities when approving the Revolution Wind farm in May will be reviewed in Newport Superior Court.

What does this mean for Green Oceans?

If the judge rules in our favor, Green Oceans will be given the chance to argue our case, gaining even more momentum in holding offshore wind developers accountable.

If the case is dismissed, Green Oceans will petition the RI Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, requesting that the higher court review our case for errors or violations that might have occurred in the lower court.

Broader Scope

Green Oceans is preparing to file a federal case. Details forthcoming in our next newsletter.

RI Attorney General: To Date

Green Oceans has had four meetings with the environmental team of the Attorney General’s office regarding our state lawsuit. We are now seeking an appointment with the Attorney General.

Submitted our Petition with Public Comments

Green Oceans’ petition drive is ongoing, and was recently submitted to NOAA with over 2,000 signatures. Public comments were submitted alongside the petition.

What are Public Comments?

Green Oceans members reviewed publicly available documents prepared by Revolution Wind, and submitted critical public comments concerning a variety of issues. The public commenting process is laborious, and includes the review of hundreds of pages of documents.

By signing with an outside communications team, Green Oceans looks forward to streamlining our messaging while further raising awareness about our mission.

Hosted Informational Seminars

Green Oceans hosted well-attended seminars in both Portsmouth and Little Compton, as well as private, focus group presentations. These seminars and presentations help to broaden and engage our audience.
