There's No Debate: Navy Sonar Injures and Kills Whales and Dolphins
"There is no question that sonar injures and kills whales and dolphins. The Navy admitted as much in its official "Environmental Assessment" of the exercises, estimating that the exercises would significantly disturb or injure an estimated 170,000 marine mammals, including causing permanent injury to more than 450 whales and temporary hearing impairment in at least 8,000 whales." - excerpt from this Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) blog article by Joel Reynolds.
