One of the potential environmental impacts of the Humboldt Bay Offshore Wind Multipurpose Heavy Lift Terminal is increased air pollution. Traditional port operations, that rely on fossil fuels, emit both CO2 as well as criteria pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and Particulate Matter which can impact nearby communities (1). Humboldt currently has some of the cleanest air in the State (2).  ​ In May 2023, local environmental activists started a campaign (3) to ask for the Humbol
