At Last Moment, Judge Stops Navy's Use of Loud Sonar Next to New Hawaiian Marine Reserve
- "We are pleased, but not surprised, by the court's emergency intervention. This ruling underscores that no one, not even the United States military, is above the law. Last Friday the Navy did an end run around the law protecting marine mammals, but fortunately this country has more than one law against the needless infliction of harm to endangered whales and the environment. We sincerely hope the Navy will now choose to comply." - excerpt from Joel Reynolds, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Marine Mammal Protection Project.
