THE U.S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR APPROVED CAPE WIND'S REQUEST TO SURRENDER THEIR LEASE IN MAY OF 2018. THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DISMANTLED AND REMOVED CAPE WIND'S METEOROLOGICAL TOWER IN NANTUCKET SOUND IN JULY OF 2018.

THE ALLIANCE WAS FORMED IN 2002 IN RESPONSE TO CAPE WIND'S PROPOSAL TO BUILD A 25-SQUARE-MILE WIND ENERGY PROJECT IN THE SOUND DUE TO ITS ADVERSE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND PUBLIC SAFETY IMPACTS. THE GOAL OF THE ALLIANCE, BEYOND STOPPING CAPE WIND, IS TO ESTABLISH THE SOUND AS A PROTECTED AREA TO PRESERVE ITS RICH ECOLOGY AND SAFEGUARD THE SOUND AGAINST FUTURE INAPPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT. NANTUCKET SOUND NANTUCKET SOUND INCLUDES 163 SQUARE NAUTICAL MILES OF WATER AND SEABED BETWEEN CAPE COD, VINEYARD SOUND, AND THE ISLANDS OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD AND NANTUCKET, EXTENDING SEAWARD BEYOND MONOMOY AND NANTUCKET ISLANDS. NANTUCKET SOUND POSSESSES SIGNIFICANT MARINE HABITAT FOR A DIVERSITY OF ECOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES. THE SOUND IS SIGNIFICANT FOR SEVERAL FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES OF WILDLIFE AND A VARIETY OF COMMERCIALLY AND RECREATIONALLY VALUABLE FISHERIES. THE SOUND IS SITUATED AT A CONFLUENCE OF THE COLD LABRADOR CURRENTS AND THE WARM GULF STREAM. THIS CREATES A UNIQUE COASTAL HABITAT, REPRESENTING THE SOUTHERN RANGE FOR NORTHERN ATLANTIC SPECIES AND THE NORTHERN RANGE FOR MID-ATLANTIC SPECIES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS CHARACTERIZED BY AN EXTREME RICHNESS OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, CONTAINING HABITATS THAT RANGE FROM OPEN SEA TO SALT MARSHES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS MORE THAN A BODY OF WATER. IT IS A SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD FOR MANY LOCAL FISHERMEN, AN INSPIRATION FOR ARTISTS, AND A SOURCE OF SOLACE, RELAXATION, AND RECREATION FOR THE MILLIONS THAT FLOCK TO ITS SHORES. THE LOCAL FERRY OPERATORS ALONE TRANSPORT OVER THREE MILLION PASSENGERS PER YEAR THROUGH NANTUCKET SOUND, AND 400,000 FLIGHTS PER YEAR TRAVERSE THE AIRSPACE OVER THE SOUND. IT IS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND A NATURAL TREASURE THAT MUST BE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED. NANTUCKET SOUND IS UNIQUE FOR MANY REASONS INCLUDING: THE SOUND IS ONE OF ONLY TWO AREAS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE FEDERAL WATERS ARE SURROUNDED BY STATE WATERS AND IS THE ONLY LOCATION WHERE THESE STATE WATERS ARE DESIGNATED AS A SANCTUARY UNDER STATE LAW. THE SOUND IS THE ONLY OCEAN-BASED TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY AND WAS RECOGNIZED AS SUCH FOR ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE AREA'S WAMPANOAG TRIBES. THE SOUND IS BORDERED BY ONSHORE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS, INCLUDING THE KENNEDY COMPOUND ON CAPE COD, WESLEYAN GROVE AND THE FLYING HORSES CAROUSEL ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF NANTUCKET. NO OTHER OCEAN AREA SUITABLE FOR OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT SHARES THE SOUND'S UNIQUE GEOGRAPHY AND COMPLEX HISTORIC, TRIBAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND ECONOMIC ATTRIBUTES. THE EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC INTEREST VALUES OF THE SOUND ARE CLEARLY WORTHY OF NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND PROTECTION. NANTUCKET SOUND HAS LONG BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR PROTECTED STATUS. IN 1971, NANTUCKET SOUND STATE WATERS, OUT TO THREE MILES FROM THE SHORELINES OF CAPE COD, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND NANTUCKET, WERE DESIGNATED AS THE MASSACHUSETTS CAPE AND ISLAND OCEAN SANCTUARY UNDER STATE LAW. HOWEVER, THE FEDERAL WATERS IN THE CENTER OF THE SOUND REMAINED UNPROTECTED. IN 1980, THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS NOMINATED THE SOUND FOR DESIGNATION UNDER THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES ACT. IN 1983, THE FEDERAL RESOURCE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA'S) SANCTUARY PROGRAM, DETERMINED NANTUCKET SOUND WAS WORTHY OF DESIGNATION. THE SOUND WAS LISTED ON THE SITE EVALUATION LIST IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER AS ONE OF 28 AREAS "FROM WHICH NOAA WILL SELECT SITES TO EVALUATE AS CANDIDATES FOR NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES." IN JANUARY 2010, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOGNIZED THE UNIQUE HISTORIC AND TRIBAL VALUES OF THE SOUND AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS A TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY.
