Military Use of Loud Sonar in Our Oceans
- "Mass stranding and mortality events associated with [military] sonar exercises have occurred, among other places, off the coast of Washington State (2003), the Canary Islands (1985, 1986, 1989, 2002, 2004), the Bahamas (2000), Madeira (2000), the U.S. Virgin Islands (1998, 1999), and Greece (1996)... Many scientists are concerned that stranded whales represent only a fraction of those that are injured." - excerpt from the article at http://www.enn.com/aff.html?id=191
