Opponents of a proposed wind energy farm off the South Jersey coast will link hands on the beaches Saturday to form a human chain in protest against a project they believe will harm the local economy, environment and marine life.

They will be on the beach Saturday starting at 11 a.m. from 14th Street in Ocean City heading north toward Atlantic City.

Dubbed “Hands Across The Beaches,” the protest is being organized by Protect Our Coast NJ, a grassroots organization that has been one of the most vocal critics of the wind farm proposed by the Danish energy company Orsted 15 miles off the coast from Atlantic City to Stone Harbor.
