520 _a"Navy subs routinely use sonar--the underwater version of radar--to navigate and to detect potential threats. But the powerful sounds harm whales and dolphins. In fact, some sonar systems can generate 235 decibels. In air, that's as loud as a Shuttle launch. Enough examples of that harm abound to suggest a better balance must be found between the military's need to use sonar and the need to protect marine life." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article discusses how sonar adversely affects marine life.
