Associated Press
MARATHON, Fla. - The U.S. Navy and marine wildlife experts are
investigating whether a submarine used sonar before dozens of
dolphins beached themselves near Marathon [Florida].
More than 20 rough-toothed dolphins have died since Wednesday's mass
grounding of about 68 dolphins, Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary spokeswoman Cheva Heck said Saturday. Many of the
survivors were being moved Saturday to rehabilitation centers in the
Florida Keys.
Four were taken to Summerland Key to be cared for by the Florida Keys
Marine Mammal Rescue Team, 11 have were sent to the Marine Mammal
Conservancy on Key Largo and another 13 were to join them later
Saturday. Two dolphins went to the Marine Animal Rescue Society in
Miami late Friday.
Experts don't yet know how long they will be in rehabilitation.
"We won't authorize release until we feel they can survive in the
wild," Heck said. "We don't want to release them and see them
re-strand."
The beachings came a day after the USS Philadelphia conducted
exercises off Key West, about 45 miles from Marathon. Navy officials
refused to say whether the Groton, Conn.-based submarine used its
sonar during a training exercise with Navy SEALs.
But naval ships emitting pulses of sound have been blamed for at
least one mass beaching. Scientists surmise that sonar may disorient
or scare marine mammals, causing them to surface too quickly and
creating the equivalent of what divers know as the bends -- when
nitrogen is formed in tissue by sudden decompression, leading to
hemorrhaging. [Not to mention that the intensity of these sonars can
burst the ear drums of dolphins and whales and cause other injury
and trauma. - LM]
"This is absolutely high priority," said Lt. Cdr. Jensin Sommer,
spokeswoman for Norfolk, Va.-based Naval Submarine Forces. "We are
looking into this. We want to be good stewards of the environment,
and any time there are strandings of marine mammals we look into the
operations and locations of any ships that might have been operating
in that area."
National Marine Fisheries Service experts are conducting necropsies
on the dead dolphins, looking for signs of acoustic trauma.
"We certainly will do a thorough exam on as many as possible before
we go to the Navy," said Teri Rowles, coordinator of the service's
marine mammal health and stranding response program. "We have not,
in this particular case, gone to them and said, 'What were you
doing?' and asking them to do (a sound impact study)."

2) US Navy Will Oppose Plan To Restrict Pinging
That Can Kill Whales
IAN BRUCE, Defence Correspondent
The Herald [Glasgow]
March 02 2005
THE US navy is to oppose international efforts by Nato and the EU to
restrict the use of warship sonar emissions which could kill or
injure sea creatures including whales, dolphins and porpoises.
A policy document is being drawn up by the Pentagon which will put
the US at odds with many of its European allies over the use of
"active pinging", the technique used to pinpoint the location of
hostile submarines by beaming powerful underwater sound waves
designed to bounce off their hulls.
Britain went to the lengths of trying to design a whale-friendly
sonar to be fitted to all Royal Navy warships, although the Ministry
of Defence was forced to admit last year that it still had the
potential to be harmful to marine mammals.
UK policy is to switch off the system when whales are detected nearby
and steer clear of known breeding grounds, although the navy says the
health of marine life still has to take second place to military
necessity on operations.
Scottish wildlife campaigners say they fear that whale-pods may
already be fleeing their breeding and feeding grounds off the
north-west coast because of the frequency of naval exercises
involving sonar emissions.
An estimated 27 species of marine mammals visit Scottish waters.
The European Parliament voted 441 to 15 last October to urge member
states to cut back on sonar in EU waters and to create a
multi-national task force to draw up agreements on limiting
emissions, but the Pentagon insists that national security must take
priority.
American environmentalists say there is clear evidence that naval
manoeuvres have caused the beaching of whales and dolphins in the
Canary Islands, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Portugal in the last
three years.
About 400 marine animals, including some of the Moray Firth's famous
bottlenose dolphins, beach themselves around the UK every year.
Scientists believe the powerful sonar sound waves either rupture the
mammals' sensitive hearing or scare them into surfacing from deep
water too quickly, resulting in decompression damage - known in
human divers as the bends.
The US navy says it is essential to be able to train sailors on sonar
detection, especially since the recent increase in countries buying
or building ultra-quiet diesel-electric submarines designed to
operate close inshore and pose a direct threat to shipping or of
launching cruise missiles against inland targets.
The Pentagon managed to persuade the US congress to modify the Marine
Mammal Protection Act three years ago in ways which critics say have
already reduced protection for whales.

3) Global Meditation for the Baby Harp Seals
Info * Actions * Meditation
From: "Mary Saint-Marie"
Date: March 4, 2005
GLOBAL MEDITATION FOR THE BABY HARP SEALS
GIVE A VOICE TO THE BABY HARP SEALS
March 5 through March 15, 2005
7 PM Pacific Time (west coast) each evening
visit:
http://www.harpseals.org
On March 15, 2005, 350,000 baby harp seals are scheduled to be
clubbed/bludgeoned and killed in Canada. Permission has been given by
the Canadian government. It is an annual event that is horrific,
brutal and inhumane. The veterinarians have estimated that more that
40% are skinned alive and conscious. This is a commercial slaughter
for pelts, etc. You may read about it on this website:
http://www.harpseals.org
You will be able to read what Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd
Conservation Society says about this slaughter being a contributing
factor to the eco-crisis. He describes in detail the ecological
disruption in the health of the ocean system by the removal of these
creatures. You will also be able to read what author, Matthew Scully,
who wrote "Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals and
the Call to Mercy," says about the baby seal killing.
Below are some of the ways that you may be inspired to give a Voice
to the baby harp seals:
1. Giving the harp seals a voice through outcrys of
indignation in cities around the world. International Day of Protest
on March 15. (see website to know dates, times and cities)
http://www.harpseals.org
2. Sending letters, emails and faxes and speaking from
your heart of how you feel. (see website for contact info)
3. Online petitions (see website for how to do it)
4. Boycotting of all Canadian seafood and passing out
leaflets (see website)
5. Creating conscious eco-tours into these areas for new
employment (see website)
6. Meditation (READ BELOW)
MEDITATION:
Each person is invited to bring the baby harp seals and their
mothers, the men who do the clubbing/killing/skinning, the Canadian
government and the organizations who support this hideous and cruel
practice that causes great suffering, into the Light in one's heart.
(Let us find that place where we have no enemies, that we might pray
that the hearts of those who would kill in this way, have their
hearts and eyes opened.)
Then we can go deeply into the Silence of the 'wordless and nameless'
infinite, where battle and duality do end. There let us dwell in the
realm where all are One. Let us release all but the identification
with the Light of Presence, knowing that the 'outer world is created
via the inner Consciousness'. Thus we do not have to change or
control the outer worldŠbut to bring to it the transformative power
and action of a virgin heart/love. Let us be the vessels through
which this love does pour into this worldŠand in this caseŠinto the
world of the precious baby harp seals and their mothers.
Many of us have meditated on full moons, solstices, and other
astrological configurations. Let us now come together in large
numbers to be in the Oneness with the baby harp seals.
Sages, enlightened ones, mystics, the new physicists and many
awakening ones have had the Oneness experienceŠeach in their own
way. It is no secret. We are One. We are one with the baby seals. We
are one with the brutal clubbers. Let us move beyond the battle and
find the place where we are One. Let us collectively begin to
witness the new world emerge from within our very own
ConsciousnessŠto be experienced in what we know as the physical
world. Let us be in harmony with all of Nature/Creation.
We may act and speak from a place of Unity, rather than a place of
reaction that keeps us in the battle. Let us togetherŠbring in the
emerging new worldŠ

4) America's Whale Alliance
Help Us Stop the Resumption of Commercial Whaling
Action: Sign the AWA statement opposing US policy
on commercial whaling
http://www.americaswhalealliance.org/
There is little doubt that the 30 year long campaign to end
commercial whaling could be lost within the next few months.
Unfortunately, most people are simply unaware that this is
happening. Despite the fact that the case against commercial whaling
is stronger today than ever before, the countdown to commercial
whaling has already begun, but with your help we can still stop it!
America's Whale Alliance (AWA) was formed in response to the United
States government's apparent change in policy regarding the
resumption of commercial whaling. As the United States affiliate of
the Global Whale Alliance (GWA), AWA will focus all efforts on
reversing this apparent policy change by uniting US based
organizations and their members.
The international ban on commercial whaling, introduced by the
International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1986, is under serious
threat. The GWA and AWA are opposing plans to bring back commercial
whaling under the 'Revised Management Scheme' (RMS), now being
finalized by the IWC. The RMS will legitimize the killing of whales
for profit and push the world back to the dark ages of mass whale
slaughter.
The US government asserts that even if the RMS is adopted, it would
not necessarily mean that the moratorium would be lifted. However,
last summer, at the meeting of the IWC in Sorrento, the United
States, as part of a small group of countries including Japan,
tabled a proposal to complete the RMS AND lift the moratorium on
commercial whaling at the June 2005 IWC meeting in Korea. The US
government continues to assert their opposition to the return of
commercial whaling while actively working to facilitate its return.
AWA believes that completion and adoption of the RMS will reopen an
industry that all but destroyed the world's whales. Unfortunately,
the United States government has abandoned their role as one of the
strongest voices in whale conservation and are now seeking a
political compromise on the whaling issue. The United States
government is not only betraying the whales, they are ignoring the
vast majority of their citizens that want commercial whaling to
remain banned, and for the ban to be properly enforced.
The lifting of the moratorium on commercial whaling disregards the
overwhelming scientific evidence that growing environmental problems,
such as global warming, pollution, anthropogenic noise, ship strikes,
fishing gear entanglement that now threaten the world's surviving
whale populations with extinction.
AWA needs you to tell your government to save the whaling ban, not
whaling. This website includes useful and detailed background
information on whaling and the AWA campaign:
http://www.americaswhalealliance.org
The case for saving the whales is stronger today than ever before.
The count-down to commercial whaling has begun and the Global Whale
Alliance and America's Whale Alliance are committed to stopping it.
Whatever you can do to help, please do something.
If we act together we will win for the whales.

Dear friends,
The navy has been developing and testing new very low frequency sonar
equipment for several years now. For those who are following this, it
is clear that this technology seriously damages whales and dolphins.
Their dead corpses have been found with blood in their ears after
tests in numerous places around the globe. The press has sadly given
this very little coverage. Thankfully, the Washington Post and San
Francisco Chronicle (front page) have had articles about this.
Below (articles #6 & 7) are excerpts from these two articles with
links for those who would like to read the entire article. You can
help by signing the petition [below] and by contacting your
congressional representatives and asking them to stop the use of
this damaging technology. Also please spread this important news to
your friends.
With love and best wishes,
Fred Burks

6) Navy's Use of Sonar Suspected in Near-stranding of Whales

Hawaii Incident Intensifies Debate on Ocean Noise
The Navy has acknowledged that vessels on maneuver off Hawaii in July
used their sonar periodically in the 20 hours before a large pod of
melon-headed whales unexpectedly came to shore in the area. The
acknowledgment added to an already contentious debate over whether
the sound from sonar has been causing marine mammals to strand.
Navy officials said that a review of the July 3 incident indicates
that two ships turned on their sonar between 6:45 and 7:10 a.m., by
most accounts just before the unusual movement of almost 200
deep-water whales to the shoreline of a Kauai bay. The Navy had said
earlier that no sonar was used until more than 90 minutes later,
well after the animals came ashore.
Lieutenant Commander Greg Geisen, the Navy spokesman responsible for
information about the maneuver, said a Navy review of the incident
still concluded that the ships were either too far from the whales or
were using the sonar at the wrong time to cause the mass movement.
"There is no evidence of a relationship here between the sonar use
and the whale behavior," he said.
But the newly released information from Geisen and other Navy
officials -- that the ships were testing their sonar in preparation
for the maneuver on the day before the whales came ashore, and early
on the morning of the near-stranding -- has caused some observers to
question that conclusion.
"Every time the Navy changes its story, it reduces its credibility on
this issue," said Cara Horowitz, a lawyer with the Natural Resources
Defense Council, which has sued the Navy over a related sonar issue.
"The Navy would be better off spending more time developing
common-sense ways to protect whales from sonar and less time denying
a connection that is unfortunately being repeatedly shown."
Residents and government officials worked throughout July 3 to steer
the whales back to open water, and all made it except one newborn
calf that died of starvation.
The Hawaii incident is the third significant one involving sonar and
marine mammal strandings near the United States since 2000. The
stranding of 17 whales of various kinds off the Bahamas in 2000,
which resulted in the death of at least six of them, occurred during
a major Navy maneuver. Navy officials at first said there was no
connection between their exercise and the stranding, but later
acknowledged that the loud sound from the sonar had caused the
animals to flee ashore.
Another incident occurred off the coast of Washington state last
year, where harbor porpoises unexpectedly came ashore after a sonar
exercise. The Navy concluded that there was no connection between
the two, but the NOAA is still reviewing the incident.

7) Navy Under Global Pressure to Limit Sonar Use
EU, Others Call for Cut in Noises That Harm Sea Life
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/12/13/MNGOEAB3HJ1.DTL
Monday, December 13, 2004
Jane Kay, Chronicle Environment Writer
The United States is facing increasing international pressure to
place limitations on the use of military sonar, the underwater
equivalent of radar that has been linked to mass strandings of
whales.
The European Union Parliament -- the most prominent of four
international bodies that have taken up the matter in recent months
-- called in October for its member states to develop a moratorium
on all types of military sonars, which use powerful sound to locate
objects such as submarines.
Two weeks ago, the IUCN-World Conservation Union, a prestigious group
of 70 nations and 400 nongovernmental organizations meeting in
Bangkok, overwhelmingly passed a resolution urging governments to
limit the use of loud noise sources in the world's oceans, including
military sonar, oil and gas exploration and commercial shipping,
until the effects are better understood. The United States abstained
from the vote.
The measure also said that, to the extent possible, sonar and other
activities should be avoided entirely in areas where the vulnerable
species live. According to studies cited by the EU and the other
world bodies, noise can interfere with the survival of the ocean
creatures that depend on sound to navigate, find food, locate mates,
avoid predators and communicate with one another. At high decibel
levels, noise can kill.
The U.S. Navy is the biggest user of midfrequency active sonar in the
world -- and government officials have been loath to require permits
to regulate its use.
"We're not ignoring it by any means," said Bill Hogarth, director of
the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). "But to translate to direct mortality is very
difficult.''
Hogarth said that calling for a ban or restrictions on naval sonar is
"too simple,'' because the effects of sonar depend on ocean
conditions.
In more than a dozen instances dating back to the 1960s, however,
whales have stranded themselves on the beaches and sometimes died at
the time of naval training exercises miles away using midfrequency
active sonar.
An unprecedented stranding of 16 beaked and minke whales in the
Bahamas in 2000 brought worldwide attention to military sonar. A
NOAA investigation concluded that a Navy testing maneuver using
midfrequency sonar -- by far the most commonly used type of sonar --
was the likely cause. Necropsies found signs of brain hemorrhaging,
which is consistent with injury from sound.
Kenneth Balcomb, founder of the Center for Whale Research in Friday
Harbor, Wash., and leader of the Bahamas Marine Mammal Survey,
concluded that a vibration in the whales' cranial air spaces tore
delicate tissues around the brain and ears.
Military active sonars emit sound waves -- blasted from loud speakers
- - that scan hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean waters
the way a spotlight would search on land. The sound signal bounces
off objects and sends back information to receivers. Some
midfrequency active sonar systems can put out more than 235
decibels, as loud as a Saturn V rocket at launch. Aside from the
U.S. use, the technology is also employed by Western European
countries, Japan, Australia and, to a small extent, Canada.
Joel Reynolds, a senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense
Council, who first challenged the Navy's use of powerful underwater
sounds a decade ago, says his group is considering filing a lawsuit
that would charge the Navy with harassing and killing marine mammals
in violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
