Underhanded Move by Fisheries Service to Curtail Public Comment on Navy Sonar in Oceans
- "In a move aimed at curtailing public input into one of its most controversial proposals in recent years, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) imposed on Monday [7/9/07] an almost unprecedented two-week limit for public comment on a new sonar rule. The far-reaching rule would revive discredited plans to allow the use of a controversial U.S. Navy sonar system throughout over 70 percent of the worlds oceans." - excerpt from this Natural Resources Defense Council press release.
