VS geeft toe: sonar doodt dieren
Ontwapen! - 04.04.2006 14:57

Het Amerikaanse National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) heeft harde bewijzen dat het massale aanspoelen van dode walvissen op de kust van North Carolina in 2005 veroorzaakt is door de sonar-apparatuur (LFAS), gebruikt door de marine.
Van 19-21 april is op Marine-basis Kattenburg in Amsterdam de militaire beurs 'Marelec'. Een scala aan internationale bedrijven die deze sonar-apparatuur maken zullen hier aanwezig zijn. Op woensdag 19 april, om 14.00, is er dan ook een manifestatie en een blokkade bij de hoofdpoort van Kattenburg.


GOVERNMENT REPORT ON MASS WHALE STRANDING IN N.C. IDENTIFIES NAVAL SONAR AS POSSIBLE CAUSE

LOS ANGELES (March 29, 2006) -- A report today by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on the 2005 mass stranding of whales in North Carolina identifies sonar operated by the U.S. Navy as a possible cause of the incident. The report also excludes most other causes. The following is a statement about the report by Michael Jasny, a senior consultant to NRDC: "Today's report by the federal government establishes that sonar was a possible cause of the January 2005 mass stranding in which 37 whales of three different species died, and that most other possible causes were not in play. The report establishes that sonar was used in the vicinity of the strandings and that the timing was right for sonar to have caused them. It confirms that the event itself was highly unusual, being the only mass stranding of offshore species ever to have been reported in the region; and that it shared 'a number of features' with other sonar-related mass stranding events (offshore species, stranding alive, atypically distributed). Finally, investigators appear to have eliminated many other potential causes, including viral, bacterial, and protozoal infection, direct blunt trauma, and fishery interactions. However, it is rare that a stranding investigation gives definitive proof of a connection with sonar. The report released by NMFS today shows once again that this problem endemic to stranding investigations remains true."


De Amerikaanse milieuorganisatie NRDC legt op haar website,  http://www.nrdc.org/media/#0329a uit hoe milieuorganisaties bewijs op bewijs stapelen, en de Amerikaanse overheid ontkenning op ontkenning. Dit rapport, geschreven door een overheidsorganisatie, zien ze dus als bevestiging van hun gelijk in een jarenlange campagne.
