Judge limits Navy sonar use off California

After a previous total ban was rejected at the appellate level, U.S. Judge Florence-Marie Cooper, in a rehearing, put limits on Navy sonar use to protect whales. The Navy has said it will review the decision.

Let’s hope their review accepts the judge’s ruling, or negotiates something close to it, with environmental groups. If the Navy really needs more unfettered use, it can get it elsewhere.
