Navy warfare testing may kill millions of dolphins and whales
US Navy planned to massacre millions: 5-yr warfare ’testing’ (video) -
"According to a letter from Senator Barbara Boxer and other senators to NOAA in 2009, the US Navy has had plans for "ocean exercises" including in the Gulf of Mexico. The letter expressed concern about the Navy's "exercises" ultimately massacring 11.7 million marine mammals within five years according to the Agriculture Defense Coalition. A California special report on TV highlighted chemical weapon testing."
5 min. TV news video:
"Navy acknowledges it could harm more than half million marine mammals, mostly whales and dolphins by explosions and sonar. Environmentalists say the true numbers are in the millions."
"The thirty day public comment period ends on October 11, 2010. File your protests and comments today with the U.S. Navy and NOAA. Let your elected officials know that U.S. Congressional hearings are needed now to protect all ocean areas, 11.7 million marine mammals, the fishing and tourism industries, our national marine sanctuaries, migrating whales, manatees, fish, their ocean habitats and food supplies, and public health."
"The gulf’s floor is littered with bombs, chemical weapons and other ordnance dumped in the middle of last century, even in areas busy with drilling, and miles outside of designated dumping zones, according to experts who work on deepwater hazard surveys."
"The Navy's preferred alternative would increase missile testing from 10 fired per year to 57, while bomb dropping would increase from 108 to 144 per year. The Navy would increase the number of shells it fires, from 25,856 per year to 53,343."
