Right Whales
Right Whales and the Navy
The North Atlantic Right Whale is one of the most endangered species of whales out in the oceans. They can typically be found in the north in the New England area but during the winter they travel south to Georgia and North Florida to where their primary calving grounds are located. Environmentalists tend to keep close watch on this area during the winter time to make sure the whales are not harmed. Right now the environmentalist and the navy are in a heated battle which the navy is going to win.
There is a planned training range being set up for submarine warfare with sonar use off the north Florida Atlantic Coast. It is said that the sonar can disrupt the whales feeding patterns and even cause distress in which the whales beach themselves. The environmentalist are afraid it will hurt the whales going to the calving grounds and that the species overall will be hurt. They are trying to get the navy to just not do their exercises during the breeding months. It does not seem the navy will postpone their exercises during that time. Lookouts for the whales will be at an all time high to try and protect them.
