Well, it's a good start, but so is 1 million lawyers drowning in the ocean.

Reorder a few paragraphs from that article:


Quote:
Surette said that there is no scientific support to the charge that low-frequency sonar will harm sea creatures and that the Navy spent $10 million to do an environmental impact assessment that found in its favor. But other researchers have concluded that high-powered sonar can and does cause marine mammals to beach themselves and die.

In particular, Surette said, the Navy wants to see the law clarified regarding what constitutes "harassment" of whales, dolphins and porpoises, and how many of them can be inadvertently killed without breaking environmental laws.

Oh yeah, he sure cares about the cetaceans. We can tell. Prolly sends em a can of tuna for Christmas. Jerk.
