Do they draw fish? Yes. An artificial reef would've done the same without the eye sore of those ridiculous turbines.

This is the 2nd time it's been halted. I hope it stays that way.
They really were not meant to .
It was a pilot project . They are done on a super small scale to work out the bugs before a large project is done .

They didn’t meet the requirements of five years to even be considered worthy of information besides it DIDNT work .
They are all offline , and like you said now a ridiculous eyesore .
