Right Whales, Wrong Place, Wrong Time

From EcoSilly -- Right whales might be threatened by U.S. Navy plans to construct a 500-square-mile undersea sonar testing range in northeastern Florida. Reports have shown that sonar testing can also cause panic responses, displacement, and disruption of feeding, breeding, navigating, and communicating.
“ Locating this massive sonar testing range right next to the only known calving ground for a critically endangered species makes no sense. The Navy clearly isn’t listening to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which has specifically recognized the importance of the right whale calving ground as "a location vital to the population" and a "very high-risk area for pregnant females, new mothers, and calves." ”
