Your Action is Needed to Stop Low Frequency Sonar (LFS)

 

On July 16 the US Navy got permission to go ahead with tests for using

low frequency sonar in our oceans. The tests have begun. The high-powered

submarine detection system will operate at noise levels billions of times

more intense than those known to disturb the migration and communication

of large whales. It has been known by scientists and the US Navy as well,

that these tests injure marine life, including causing internal

hemorrhaging.

 

On Saturday 60 false killer whales beached themselves off Australia.

Yesterday it was reported that hundreds of Giant squid had beached

themselves along the Californian coastline along with unusual numbers of

(harmless)leopard sharks coming in close to shore disorientated.

Twelve manatees have also been reported to have died on the Florida

coast.

 

Today it is reported that another 60 pilot whales have beached themselves

off Cape Cod.

All of this within a week of the Navy's go ahead to use this low

frequency sonar, Coincidence? I think not.

The sonar is equivalent in decibels to us standing next to a rocket being

launched. It causes brain emorrhaging & disorientation to cetaceans and

other marine life. There are innumerable accounts of how dolphins and

whales have helped us in life threatening situations...Now it is time for

us to

help them.
