Update: California Sonar Case Pending Before Supreme Court

The New York Times has an informative article on the California Sonar case, posted earlier here.

Tangentially, NOAA is seeking public input on the Navy's use of sonar in Hawaii's waters, here. 

Per NOAA's press release:

NOAA’s Fisheries Service does not expect the exercises to result in serious injury or death to marine mammals, and is proposing the Navy use mitigation measures to avoid injury or death. However, exposure to sonar in certain circumstances has been associated with the stranding of some marine mammals, and some injury or death may occur despite the best efforts of the Navy. The draft authorization allows for incidental impacts on marine mammals, including injury or death of up to 10 animals of each of 10 species over the five years covered by the authorization.
