Navy to deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins? And kill 1,800 more?

Subject: Navy to deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins? And kill 1,800 more?

Below is an email from Lyndia Storey, a MoveOn member who created a petition on
SignOn.org that's growing rapidly. If you have concerns or feedback about this petition,

Dear MoveOn member,
According to the U.S. Navy's own estimates,
the use of high-frequency underwater sound for testing in Hawaii, off the California and Atlantic Coasts, and in the Gulf of Mexico will deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more over the next five years.

Whales and dolphins depend on sound to navigate and live. The Navy is required to include comments from the public on their Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), so your signature and comment on my
SignOn.org petition could help stop this naval program and save the lives of these ocean creatures.
My petition says:
Stop the killing of 1,800 whales and dolphins and the deafening of 15,900 more by ceasing the operation of the Navy's underwater sound system in the Hawaiian Islands, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico.
