They argument was that the sonar scans of the ocean floor was hurting whales, which while plausible, ignores that the navy is doing that constantly and the floor scans are temporary.
I’ve heard this in NY. What do these people think? That the whales are so annoyed by the sounds that they commit suicide?
not sure about whales, but sonar is dangerous if its loud
There have been necropsies of beached/stranded whales which found bleeding in the ears which would make them deaf and unable to echolocate for navigation or finding food. But generally it’s blamed on Navy sonar, not temporary construction activity.
