FORM 990,PART I, LINE 1: MISSION THE ALLIANCE TO PROTECT NANTUCKET SOUND IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING OVER 30,000 SUPPORTERS DEDICATED TO THE LONG TERM PRESERVATION OF NANTUCKET SOUND. THE ALLIANCE WAS FORMED IN 2002 IN OPPOSITION TO THE CAPE WIND PROPOSAL TO BUILD A 25 SQUARE-MILE WIND ENERGY GENERATION PLANT IN NANTUCKET SOUND. THE PRIVATE, FOR-PROFIT VENTURE WOULD HAVE CONSISTED OF 130 WIND TURBINES, EACH 440 FEET TALL, SPANNING 25 SQUARE MILES OF NANTUCKET SOUND, AN AREA THE SIZE OF MANHATTAN. IT WOULD ALSO HAVE INCLUDED A 20,000 SQUARE FOOT ELECTRICAL SERVICE PLATFORM HOLDING 30,000 GALLONS OF OIL ON HORSESHOE SHOAL IN THE CENTER OF NANTUCKET SOUND. (NOTE: IN LATE 2017, CAPE WIND SURRENDERED THEIR FEDERAL LEASE). THE GOAL OF THE ALLIANCE WAS TO STOP THE PROPOSED WIND ENERGY PLANT FROM BEING CONSTRUCTED IN NANTUCKET SOUND AND TO PROTECT NANTUCKET SOUND IN PERPETUITY. CAPE WIND THREATS THE ALLIANCE OBJECTIONS TO CAPE WIND INCLUDED: -INCREASED ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR BUSINESSES, TOWNS, AND HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS MA; -JOB LOSSES DUE TO INCREASED ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR BUSINESSES IN MA; -NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON TOURISM AND RELATED JOBS, AND DECREASED PROPERTY VALUES; -SIGNIFICANT NAVIGATIONAL HAZARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL VESSELS; -UNACCEPTABLE HAZARDS TO AVIATION SAFETY; -DESECRATION OF A NATIONAL TREASURE, SACRED TRIBAL LANDS, AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES; -SUBSTANTIAL VISUAL, NOISE, AND LIGHT POLLUTION; -VIOLATION OF THE PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH USE OF PUBLIC LAND FOR PRIVATE GAIN; -THREATS TO THE ENVIRONMENT IN TERMS OF ENDANGERED AVIAN AND MARINE SPECIES; -CHANCE OF AN OIL SPILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE PLATFORM; AND -DEVASTATION OF COMMERCIAL FISHING IN NANTUCKET SOUND. 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 HAS PARTICULAR SIGNIFICANCE 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 HAS LONG BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR SANCTUARY DESIGNATION. PAST STUDIES SHOW IT POSSESSES THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WOULD JUSTIFY SUCH A DESIGNATION. -IN 1971, NANTUCKET SOUND STATE WATERS (OUT TO 3 MILES) WERE DESIGNATED AS THE MA CAPE AND ISLAND OCEAN SANCTUARY UNDER MA LAW (MOSA). HOWEVER, FEDERAL WATERS, THE "HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT," REMAINED UNPROTECTED. -IN 1980, THE COMMONWEALTH NOMINATED THE SOUND FOR DESIGNATION UNDER THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES ACT. -IN 1983, THE FEDERAL RESOURCE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY NOAA'S SANCTUARY PROGRAM, DETERMINED NANTUCKET SOUND WAS WORTHY OF DESIGNATION. THE SOUND WAS LISTED ON THE SITE EVALUATION LIST (SEL) 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 (TCP).
