8/19 - Underwater Crescendo: the noise vs. whales conflict is building

Its been a busy year for those trying to give whales some peace and quiet. Our partner group Seaflow is tracking the impact on whales of Navy sound tests, the Ocean Mammal Institute is putting together a petition to the U.N. about undersea noise pollution, and even the Russians have allocated $2 million to look at the problem for grey whales.
