Allco Renewable Energy Ltd. v. Haaland (Vineyard Wind)

The federal district court for the District of Massachusetts found that a plaintiff challenging an Incidental Harassment Authorization issued pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act for the Vineyard Wind offshore wind energy project failed to establish that the National Marine Fisheries Service acted arbitrarily, capriciously, or otherwise in violation of law. The court therefore granted federal defendants’ and the project developer’s motions for summary judgment.
