Navy Sonar and Marine Mammals off Hawaii
The U.S. Navy was granted a one-year permit to train with sonar and bombs in Hawaii waters so long as it tries to protect whales and other marine animals from harm. This is a controverial topic. It is covered in a full day in ATI’s course Advanced Topics In Underwater Acoustics. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/ap_on_re_us/navy_whales_1 Environmental Impact Considerations […]
