British Navy Denies Sonar Caused Whale Strandings Off Scotland

April 19, 2008

There has been an increasing amount of coverage in the international marine community about the concerns of active sonar use and its impact on marine mammals.

A recent article (April 18, 2008) on the BBC website reports on the concerns expressed by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) that the British Royal Navy’s use of sonar has contributed to the strandings and sonar-related deaths of 43 marine mammals off the coast of Scotland since February.
