Offshore Wind Energy Projects in South India: Indigenous Coastal Communities Left in Dark
This briefer documents the concerns of the Indigenous coastal communities with the offshore wind projects in Tamil Nadu, which include:
- Commodification of mother ocean
- Loss of ocean rights
- Impacts on livelihoods
- Destruction of marine life
- Disruption of migratory species and other environmental impacts
- Effects on food security and leisure activities
The communities have accordingly stressed that no energy project in the Gulf of Mannar should proceed without their meaningful engagement and consent.
