Navy testing could devastate whales and dolphins, groups say
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (MCT) — Twenty environmental groups say a five-year Navy plan for testing and training off Fort Lauderdale and other Atlantic Ocean sites would cause “unprecedented harm” to whales, dolphins and other marine wildlife.
The groups filed a letter this week saying the Navy’s proposed use of sonar, live-fire training and working up of new destroyers, submarines and other warships will deafen marine mammals, entangle them in cables and raise the risk of mass strandings.
