Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/10/13/whales.sonar.ap/index.html SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The Navy has agreed to limit its peacetime use of a new sonar system designed to detect enemy submarines, but which may also harm marine mammals and fish, an environmentalist group said. The Navy and the Natural Resources Defense Council, which sued the military on the issue, reached a legal settlement last week in which the Navy agreed to use the new system only in specific areas along the eastern seaboard of Asia, according to documents provided by the environmental group.
