If your truly concerned about sea creatures, pay attention to the 800-million- tons of plastics which enter the oceans each year.
And last time I looked, fiberglass is dense enough that it 'sinks'. It doesn't 'float.' Lake Travis, outside of Austin, Texas, is 'littered' with the remains of sunken fiberglass boats.
If fiberglass sinks then why does it wash up on beachs after a blade shatters?
Not talking about boats in freshwater, this is wind turbines in the seas.
