Navy Rejects Lawful Orders to Reduce Marine Mammal Killings
- "The Navys rejection of the common-sense protective measures required by the [California Coastal] commission for sonar training is an attack not just on whales and other marine life off our coast but on the commission itself. The Navys novel notion that California has no authority to protect marine mammals ignores the fact that the commission has been doing so for years under federal coastal protection laws." - quote by Joel Reynolds, senior attorney and director of the Marine Mammal Protection Project at the Natural Resources Defense Council; quote appeared in this ENS article.
