Lethal Sounds: Deadly Sonar Harms Whales

Deafeningly loud sonar is a proven danger to marine life, but its use throughout the world's oceans is spreading. This powerful movie, brought to you by the Natural Resources Defense Council and narrated by Pierce Brosnan, shows what sonar does to whales caught within its range, and explains how whales, dolphins and other marine animals can be protected from deadly sonar. www.nrdc.org/wildlife/marine/

wow, i'd never heard that one. i always thought it was more a mystery as to what made them beach. that was a really good video.

Interesting & informative. More work needs to be done to protect not only ourselves, but these marine animals!

This video is okay until the end. It recommends some modest reforms when really we need to do away with not just military sonar, but the military and sonar altogether.

MARINE ECOSYSTEMS WORK IN HARMONY BENEFITING ALL MARINE SPECIES!

WE as humans are erratic, conflicted; disorganized. Every decision is debated, every action questioned. Every individual entitled to their own small opinion. We lack harmony; cohesion; greatness.

It will be our undoing.

ALL comments below/everywhere r ALL HUMAN points of view!

NONE of you/us can EVER genuinely experience the damage we humans have done to marine life because we DO NOT OCUPY/LIVE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT! THEY are NOT polluting ours NOR are they present here on land/air IN OUR environment. WHY do WE deem ok to enter theirs?

@Peddaa1336 shut up and go figure out how to fix this without eliminating a different race.

All the examples were after HAARP was constructed....

Apparently Tesla's "Wardenclyffe" caused local disruption with birds and fish.....

Makes me wonder if they're beaching themselves on purpose to let us know we're responsible for their deaths.

our sonar puls are just used to track items that have heat

thanks for reminding me, i need to brush my teeth!

[hawker39]

Its a difficult spot.

There needs to be an alternative, eco friendly substitute for these practises. I think people need to set their sights on developing that substitute, rather than trying to fight a losing battle though.

Country's defence force vs Whales...

I know who's always gonna come out on top

Its so sad though

so if humans are scum go and kill youself!
