The Navy is coming to discuss the EIS for the Hawaii-California region that basically covers everything in the Eastern Pacific ocean north of the equator. THEY ARE PROPOSING A REAL INCREASE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY WAR GAMES AND SONAR.
SONAR TORTURES AND KILLS whales and dolphins. Please come to these meetings and be a voice for Cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and help protect them and all marine life. You can also send comments via the link below.

With all that is being done to the Pacific Ocean right now i.e. the dumping of radioactive water from Fukushima, ALL of the sea life is at high risk. We need to be focusing on solutions rather than endless ways to spend precious human intelligence and resources making and/or testing weapons! There is no enemy except ourselves.
Bless us all,
Mother Nature tries to find a balance. Yet man, with their so called infinite wisdom cannot see the destruction they create. Someday our eyes will listen. Mahalo
