California is Restricting The US Navy Sonar
The article is here.
Update 2007.01.24: The Navy is taking itself out of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) for 2 years.
This decision covers all of the Navy's sonar everywhere. It follows the decision from the California Coastal Commission a few weeks ago to require additional *mitigation* (i.e., restrictions) on the use of military sonar off the California coast.
Update 2007.03.03: "The Navy is proposing a 660-square-mile sonar range off the coast of North Carolina to train sailors and pilots to detect submarines." - news article April 2006.
Update 2007.03.03: British Navy Sonar blamed for the death of 6 whales in 2006.
