US Supreme Court allows sonar use

The ping pong continues.

Good, considering there is no scientific evidence to back up the theory that sonar kills/injures marine life. There are far more important things these "groups" could be doing to actually help the enviroment.

 

Like the >10,000 whales Japan, Norway & Iceland have killed since 1986 for "science." Japan hasn't documented even one in a scientific study.

 

I am not sure where you get the 'no evidence' part. Keep in mind this particular sonar kicks out 200 decibels. Hard to imagine that that doesn't harm marine life.
Plenty of scientists believe that it is harmful:

Sorry to go against you, but at least in my book, "might", "may", and "could be" are not scientific evidence, rather just theories.
Also, keep in mind that both sperm and blue whales requalrly kick out sonar in the 10-20hz range and at 200 decibels themselves naturally, just in regular communication and hunting. Sperm whales can even go much more powerful during fights against one another for intimidation and show of dominance.
So if it was true that 200 decibels of low frequency sonar was seriuosly harming whales, wouldn't it be also true that just as many are being harmed by themselves?

 

Decent points. I am not sure and by no means an expert... there are been enough whale strandings around these tests to make me concerned though.
