	NRDC blasts US proposal allowing deployment of controversial Navy LFA sonar program Powered by CDNN - CYBER DIVER News Network The evidence is overwhelming that Navy sonar kills marine mammals. WASHINGTON DC (21 Mar 2001) -- A rule proposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service that would allow the U.S. Navy to deploy a powerful new global sonar system drew protest from NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) today. The environmental group says the sound generated by the system is so intense that it could harm marine life that depends on hearing for survival. The group called for further study before deployment. "Whales and other marine species rely on hearing at least as much as people rely on sight," said Joel Reynolds, director of NRDC's Marine Mammal Protection Project. "We are very concerned that the rule the fisheries service has proposed may not protect this essential piece of the ocean environment."
