Report from the Supreme Court: Navy v. Whales
switchboard.nrdc.org — Lawyers from NRDC and the U.S. Navy faced tough scrutiny on everything from beaked whale strandings to the separation of powers as they argued before the U.S. Supreme Court this morning in a case where environmentalists seek to protect whales from lethal sonar exercises. NRDC's web editor is filing updated reports on today's oral arguments.

- OnEarth, on 10/08/2008, -0/+9The Supreme Court's consideration of this case is the culmination of something like 15 years' work for NRDC's marine mammal advocates, who've pushed to hold the Navy accountable for the damage it does, in **practice** exercises, to marine mammals and other sea life with its deafeningly loud "active" sonar tech. No one has ever sought to constrain active sonar use during combat, and the federal courts have consistently decided that the Navy can train effectively AND deploy active sonar during maneuvers in a more responsible manner. It's a big moment for wildlife conservation -- appreciate your diggs, and stay tuned.
