Hawaii Says No Sonar for Navy
In Hawaii, a judge has told the Navy to stop using sonar off its shores. According to environmentalists, the sonar has a negative impact on the whale population because of the intense sound waves.
The Hawaii personal injury lawyers who practice environmental law have argued that the sonar sound waves are so intense that they actually are able to kill whales. The Natural Resources Defense Council and EarthJustice has brought forth the case that has received an injunction by the judge in the case.
