Shownotes

America’s first utility-scale offshore wind farm didn’t just test new waters—it ignited a major legal discussion over how the United States manages its ocean resources. In this episode, host Bob Stetson speaks with Roger and Nancie Marzulla of Marzulla Law to evaluate Seafreeze Shoreside, Inc. v. U.S. Department of the Interior. The Marzullas walk through how the case was built, why standing became a defining issue, and how the shift from the Biden to Trump administrations is changing offshore-wind permitting nationwide. Their conversation also highlights why this project became the flashpoint for national debates about climate policy, environmental risk, and the future of coastal economies.
