A judge in California ruled against the U.S. Navy and for the whales today. The ruling requires the navy to shut down sonar withing 2,200 yards of whales and within 12 miles of the U.S. shore. It's just a preliminary injunction but it paves the way for further naval warfare restrictions. AP Story here.-seabgb

ahoy there mate,,,
bush just overturned and ruled in favor of the navy. 1/16/08 those whales won't know what to do when they hear those sounds bouncing off the shelf.

Hopefully, it's a temporary setback, as it states in the AP story.
