Sea Life Cards!

A district court agreed with a coalition of organizations, led by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), that the US Navy's proposed low-frequency sonar deployment in more than 70 percent of the world's oceans was illegal. This was following a court injunction issued early this year against the Navy's Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar system. LFA has been blasting vast areas of ocean with harmful levels of underwater noise, causing harm to mammal populations, including whales.

Under this agreement, LFA testing and training is limited to defined areas of the North Pacific Ocean, and the Navy must adhere to other protective measures, including seasonal and coastal exclusions that will protect breeding grounds and other important whale habitat. The agreement maintains the Navy's ability to test and train, while shielding whales and other vulnerable species from harmful underwater noise. Let's hear it for the whales!
