Whales have poor eyesight and depend heavily on their hearing; when that is taken away, they die.

I think it goes without saying human beings are the dumbest & most greediest animals to walk the planet! Not until every drop of oil is found, not until every last animal is hunted down n & killed will we be satisfied.

Tuesday November 13, 2012, 8:43 pm
This truly pisses me off !! Haven't we learned our lesson with the oil spill, then trying to cover it up with dispersants ? When will we learn from history, that all things will eventually in any situation, rise to the surface.
Our oceans, have been damaged and hurt enough. Now needing time to heal from all we have done to destroy it, and all that lives both above and below it.

Save Whales in the Atlantic – Oppose Destructive Seismic Testing
By Lizzie Timbers

Target: Secretary Ken Salazar, Department of the Interior

Goal: Oppose seismic testing in the Atlantic that could injure thousands of marine mammals and cripple the fishing industry.

The Obama Administration has recently announced plans to allow seismic exploration of the Atlantic Ocean to search for offshore oil and gas. This exploration would harm hundreds of thousands of marine animals, many of whom are endangered. The seismic testing would also have harmful impacts on the fishery industry, and in turn the economy.

The Atlantic coast has been off limits to exploration since the 1980s, but recently it has been proposed to remove those restrictions. The plan is to open up the coast from Florida to New Jersey for high-intensity seismic exploration. The seismic blasts would be at decibels louder than a jet taking off and would go off every few seconds for weeks. The testing would be destructive to marine ecosystems. It would harm marine mammals’ feeding, breeding and migration. The loud sound would drive whales and fish from their habitats. For fish, the seismic testing can kill their eggs and harm their hearing making them unable to find prey. For marine mammals, like endangered whales, the testing could cause hearing loss and lead to death. Whales have poor eyesight and depend heavily on their hearing; when that is taken away, they die.

The second concern of the seismic testing is that it is a precursor to offshore oil drilling. The purpose of seismic surveying is to locate offshore oil reserves and determine their size. The ships emit rays that map out the seafloor. After the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, environmentalists are highly concerned about the repercussions of offshore oil drilling.

The other main concern is the harm this testing would do to the Atlantic fishing industry, a more than $11 billion industry. A number of fishermen have voiced their concerns over the seismic testing. The seismic rays would dislocate fish and deplete the population, making fish harder to catch. The testing would prove to be harmful for Atlantic coastal economies.

Protect marine wildlife from assault and save the Atlantic fishing industry. Tell our government that you oppose seismic testing off the Atlantic coast.
