Need to do more research...but collapsing fish stocks happened long before offshore turbines as a result of failed international regulation of the global fish stocks.
La Nina warms the ocean in the western Pacific near Taiwan, and fish aren't adapted for such hot water...

@NMBA@mstdn.ca That’s not the substance of the video. The fisherman’s complaint are their nets are being caught by these wind farms, being put up in their fishing grounds, as well as it being a navigation hazard.. there is no definitive statement that the installations are scaring away fish but they do produce noise. And of course, the construction has a tendency to disturb marine life one way or another. Also, the fisherman’s complaints do not revolve around La Niña.
