Hello,
As someone who greatly appreciates the diversity of life in our world's ocean, I'm
contacting you to express my opposition to the Navy's plan to train with
dangerous LFA sonar.
Marine mammals are highly sensitive to such intense noise and many species
and populations are already endangered or threatened so this added stressor
could cause severe setbacks to these animals. Worldwide use of the system
would roll back vital protections that have been in place for five years.
Also disturbing is the lack of time you have given the American public, and others,
to comment on this situation. 45 days should be allowed at a minimum.
Once again, I urge you to reject the Navy's proposal for worldwide deployment of
LFA sonar.
Thank you.
Regards,
Bill Mott
