The Offshore Wind Plot Thickens: Federal Government Announces Intent to Reconsider Prior Approval of Empire Wind 2 Project

WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a significant development for coastal communities and marine conservation advocates, the U.S. Department of Justice has informed the federal court in Washington, D.C. that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) intends to reconsider its prior approval of the Empire Wind 2 offshore wind project. The announcement came in a filing made on September 30, 2025 in response to ongoing litigation brought by Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI) and co-plaintiffs, including Save the East Coast, Protect Our Coast Long Island NY (POC-LINY), and other individuals and businesses, challenging previous federal approvals for the Empire Wind project.

Image caption: Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI) and co-plaintiffs, including Save the East Coast, Protect Our Coast Long Island NY (POC-LINY).

In its submission, the government stated that BOEM “intends to undertake a reconsideration of its COP [Construction and Operations Plan] approval for Empire Wind 2,” acknowledging that the review could affect the scope of the case and any decision on the pending motions before the Court.

Empire Wind, slated to be located as close as 19 miles off the coast of New Jersey, with 57 wind turbines for Empire Wind 1 (816 MW) and up to 90 wind turbines for Empire Wind 2 (1,260 MW), has faced mounting scrutiny for potential violations of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Meanwhile, New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith has also asked U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to pause Empire Wind based on national security concerns stemming from the potential for the wind turbines to interfere with air defense radars. Absent Executive action, the courts will decide the Empire Wind issue.

“This is a major admission by the federal government that its prior approval of Empire Wind 2 cannot stand as is,” said Bob Stern, Ph.D. scientist and president of Save Long Beach Island, Inc. “It strengthens the argument for a pause to the Empire Wind 1 project. The process and methods for presenting impacts were the same for both projects. If Project 2 has legal and scientific flaws, so has Project 1.”

The litigation continues with respect to Empire Wind, as Empire Wind 1 is under construction.

“The government’s reconsideration of Empire Wind 2 is a welcome step, and it functionally weakens the credibility of their defense of Empire Wind 1,” added Thomas Stavola Jr. Esq., attorney for the plaintiffs. “The projects cannot be separated – both approvals are built on the same tenuous legal foundation, and both must be revisited to comply with the law.”

Save LBI and co-plaintiffs Save the East Coast, Protect Our Coast LINY, and other individuals and businesses will continue to press their case in federal court, while urging BOEM to revise the rules for offshore wind approvals to fully address current environmental impact and legal shortcomings.

Feds Respond to Save LBI Lawsuit with Motion to Reconsider Approvals for Massive Atlantic Shores Wind Farm Off the Coast of New Jersey

Fight to cancel beleaguered offshore project is another victory but the fight continues

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a major development for offshore wind oversight and marine environmental protection, the federal government has filed a motion in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to remand the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Construction and Operations Plan (COP) and Record of Decision (ROD) approvals for the controversial Atlantic Shores South offshore wind project, planned only 8.7 miles east of New Jersey’s coast. The filing comes in direct response to a federal lawsuit brought by Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI) and a coalition of individuals, businesses, and nonprofit plaintiffs.

Image caption: Visual simulation of what the Atlantic Shores South project would look from Holgate on Long Beach Island, NJ. Source: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

The lawsuit — filed on July 11, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia — challenges the legality of federal approvals granted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under laws including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), Outer-Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), and the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).

“This filing means federal agencies are going back to the drawing board,” said Bob Stern, Ph.D. scientist and president of Save LBI. “It’s a rare and important moment. It confirms the seriousness of the technical and scientific concerns we’ve raised, for many years now — especially regarding the impacts to endangered North Atlantic right whales and cumulative construction and operation harms to the North Atlantic right whale migration corridor.”

“This is a significant admission by the federal agencies that the Atlantic Shores approvals cannot withstand legal scrutiny in their current form,” said Thomas Stavola Jr. Esq., attorney for Save LBI. “The agencies have now recognized that their environmental review process was flawed and must be revisited. This constitutes a vindication of Plaintiffs’ rights and an acknowledgement of the validity of Plaintiffs’ lawsuit claims.”

The government’s motion requests that the Court remand the COP for Atlantic Shores South so the agencies can reassess the project under governing environmental statutes. That remand effectively dismisses the prior permit approvals granted under those statutes and will likely result in substantial revisions, additional environmental analysis, or a full cancellation of Atlantic Shores’ approval.

The Save LBI and allies’ lawsuit was the first to mount a comprehensive, multi-statute challenge to the Atlantic Shores project, citing data deficiencies, injurious impacts to marine mammals, tourism, economy, and electric rates and failures to assess cumulative impacts across the broader offshore wind buildout.

Today’s motion to remand marks a major inflection point in offshore wind permitting.

The Court will now review the government’s motion and determine whether to grant the remand. While Atlantic Shores currently has most of its federal approvals for the Atlantic Shores South project, earlier this year, Save LBI was responsible for compelling the remand of Atlantic Shores’ Clean Air Act permit to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That permit remains with the EPA.

Save LBI will continue advocating for a full rescission of unlawful approvals, protection of the right whale’s migration, and an overhaul of BOEM and NMFS’s offshore wind permitting practices.

About Save LBI

Save LBI is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization that has been active in ongoing litigation and other efforts to protect the coastal and marine environment from the senseless industrialization of our oceans. The organization is led by Beach Haven, N.J. resident Bob Stern, a Ph.D. scientist with experience in environmental planning and environmental law. He is a former manager of the U.S. Department of Energy office responsible for overseeing environmental reviews related to energy projects and the Bureau of Air Quality Planning within the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

New Book, ‘The Crisis Casebook,’ Reveals How the World’s Leading Brands Navigate Disasters and Scandals

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a world where disruption is constant and crises can strike without warning, a new book by crisis management expert Edward Segal offers a timely roadmap for organizations, leaders, and public figures who want to be prepared for the inevitable. “The Crisis Casebook: Lessons in Crisis Management from the World’s Leading Brands” (ISBN: 978-1399822381; hardcover) published by John Murray Business and available on September 9, 2025, examines hundreds of real-world examples of crises that have rocked companies, celebrities, and other high-profile individuals.

Image caption: Cover, “The Crisis Casebook: Lessons in Crisis Management from the World’s Leading Brands” – a new book by crisis management expert Edward Segal.

Drawing on his experience as a longtime crisis management expert and his reporting as a leadership strategies senior contributor for Forbes.com, Segal distills actionable lessons for how to prevent, respond to, and recover from a wide range of crisis situations.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what business you’re in – you are never far from a crisis,” Segal said.

A TIMELY WAKE-UP CALL FOR BUSINESS LEADERS

Recent data underscores the urgent need for preparedness. According to The Conference Board’s “C-Suite Outlook 2023,” fewer than half of executives worldwide said they were prepared for another pandemic or public health emergency. Just 41% reported readiness for a cybersecurity incident, and only 39% were prepared for financial instability.

Segal argues that these gaps in readiness can have devastating consequences. “A poorly managed crisis can damage reputations, profits, and even destroy organizations,” he said. “Executives and leaders who fail to prepare will risk their careers, their companies, and the people who depend on them.”

From supply chain disruptions and lawsuits to workplace misconduct, and accidents, “The Crisis Casebook” shows how crises emerge and what organizations can do to protect themselves before it’s too late.

LESSONS FROM THE FRONT LINES

The book builds on the more than 700 crises Segal has analyzed in his popular Forbes.com column. With new, previously unreleased material, he recounts how global brands, nonprofits, and public figures – including celebrities and royalty – have stumbled or succeeded when facing high-stakes challenges.

Segal highlights best practices and cautionary tales, explaining how leaders can avoid missteps and adopt strategies that have proven effective. His approach is rooted in decades of hands-on experience managing crises, advising organizations, and training executives and staff.

Among the topics covered in the book:

The definition of a crisis and when to activate a crisis management team
The best and worst responses by corporations and public figures to crisis situations
The “10 Rs” of crisis management
How to measure the true cost of a crisis beyond immediate financial losses
Strategies for effective training, planning, and crisis drills
The evolving role of crisis PR in the social media era

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Edward Segal has spent more than 30 years in the field of crisis management. He served as CEO of two trade associations, where he personally managed internal and external crisis situations. As a consultant, he has advised more than 500 corporations and organizations on surviving disasters, scandals, and emergencies.

Segal previously worked as a marketing strategies columnist for The Wall Street Journal’s StartUpJournal.com and as a senior media relations consultant with Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. He is the author of the bestselling “Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals, and Other Emergencies” and “Whistle-Stop Politics: Campaign Trains and the Reporters Who Covered Them.”

He also hosts “The Crisis Management Minute” on Apple Podcasts and the Federal News Network, which is ranked the #4 crisis management podcast in the world by FeedSpot.

PRAISE FOR THE CRISIS CASEBOOK

Segal’s work has already drawn endorsements from leaders in journalism, politics, academia, and business:

“Who did it right and who fell short is spelled out in ‘The Crisis Casebook,’ an easy read that offers a roadmap for success.” — Eleanor Clift, Daily Beast columnist.
“Studying this crisis casebook will help anyone who is in a position vulnerable to unanticipated risk and inadequate preparation.” — Mike McCurry, Former White House Press Secretary.
“Not only a must-read—it’s a must-have at the ready when crises happen.” — Jim Kennedy, former spokesman for Bill and Hillary Clinton, Sony, and News Corp.
“An amazing resource for communication practitioners and organizational leaders alike.” — Mitchell Marovitz, University of Maryland Global Campus.
“The sooner you read this book, the sooner you will be prepared for what comes next.” — Arnold Sanow, author, “Get Along with Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.”

A RESOURCE FOR THE FUTURE

Segal hopes that his new book will encourage leaders not only to study how others have handled crises but also to take action in preparing for their own.

“Crises are not a matter of ‘if,’ but ‘when,’” Segal said. “The best time to prepare is before disaster strikes. ‘The Crisis Casebook’ provides the tools and insights leaders need to protect their organizations and themselves.”

MAGLITE Deepens its Support of the National Police Dog Foundation

Every Handler who lost a police K-9 Officer in the line of duty in 2024 will receive a special remembrance from MAGLITE at the National K-9 Memorial this May

WASHINGTON, D.C., and ONTARIO, Calif., May 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — MAGLITE is once again teaming up with the National Police Dog Foundation in their efforts to honor all K-9s killed in the line of duty in 2024 and their handlers at the National K-9 Memorial in Washington, D.C., Sunday, May 11. MAGLITE will be providing an engraved MAGLITE® flashlight with the fallen K-9’s name and the National Police Dog Foundation logo to every handler honored at the event.

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE® flashlight, is a proud U.S.A. manufacturer.

The National Police Dog Foundation helps law enforcement agencies with funding to achieve their goals of providing their community with K-9 units that have high-quality and well-trained police dogs. The Foundation assists Police Service K-9s by awarding Grants in Purchase, Training, Retired K-9 Veterinary Care, Active K-9 Veterinary Care, and several other programs.

In addition, the Foundation has developed a network of veterinarians who assist agencies with costly medical situations that might occur during their K-9’s active service career. Equally important to the Foundation is the continued care for the police service dogs after retirement.

As part of the official events of Police Week in Washington, D.C., the National Police Dog Foundation hosts the annual National Police K-9 Memorial Service. The memorial service includes a wreath and rose-laying ceremony to honor the memory of fallen police K-9s who have given their lives in the line of duty.

“We are aware of the long-standing commitment to support law enforcement that MAGLITE has, and are pleased to have them as a partner supporting the mission of the National Police Dog Foundation,” said Judi Reilly, President of the National Police Dog Foundation.

MAGLITE is offering a line of laser-engraved flashlights with the logo of the National Police Dog Foundation to support this effort. The collection can be found exclusively on MAGLITE.COM at: https://maglite.com/collections/national-police-dog-foundation.

“I have a deep appreciation for law enforcement and am a dog lover who recently lost my dog-companion Lola,” said MAGLITE founder Anthony Maglica. “I am proud to offer support to the National Police Dog Foundation.”

About Mag Instrument:

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE® flashlight, is a proud U.S.A. manufacturer. Each flashlight is a result of an obsession with fine engineering, craftsmanship and a commitment to perfection. Founder, owner, and President Anthony Maglica has guided his company’s growth from a one-man machine shop in 1955 to an enterprise that has proudly employed thousands of American workers since it produced its first flashlight in 1979. https://maglite.com/.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 11, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- On June 14, 2013 New York Times Best Selling Author and Activist Sister Souljah will headline a Global Summer Reading Initiative discussing a highly anticipated follow up to her book "Coldest Winter Ever." This new novel, "A Deeper Love Inside: The Porsche Santiaga Story" (Emily Bestler Books/Atria; ISBN: 978-1439165317) will be the central topic of discussion for young people across the globe, as they come together to discuss and encourage the importance of Summer Reading.

The presentation and book signing will be held at the ARC Theater in Washington, D.C. with an interactive real time broadcast to students in attendance at the United States Embassies in Soweto, South Africa, Harare Zimbabwe and Accra Ghana.

The Global Book Talk will begin at 9 a.m. with an interview conducted by event host Mocha Ochoa of The Oracle Group; a Q&A session with students in Washington, D.C., Soweto, Harare and Accra where these students will be afforded an opportunity to interact with the author and each other in real time. A book signing will immediately follow the book talk. This auspicious event is produced by The Oracle Group, an international literary event production company.

Sister Souljah is best known for her work as a political activist and educator of underclass urban youth. A graduate of Rutgers University, she is a beloved personality in her own community. She lives in New York with her husband and son.

According to Mocha Ochoa, Principal of The Oracle Group: "We are excited to expose inspiring cultural icons like Sister Souljah to highly underserved audiences who may not get the everyday opportunity to engage with Best Selling Authors. Further, our intent is to also have student groups actively engage with each other through literary programming on a digital platform in which new and innovative ways encourage young people to continue an interest in literature during their time off from school."
