Voice of Conscience
[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n May 19th, 2016 a documentary by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) will be released – Sonic Sea. Sound is critical for sea life to survive. Their medium is water, and increasingly so much noise is introduced that it is undermining many species ability to survive. This is not even to mention the decade old fight with the Navy to constrain their “Sonar testing” which had the ability to burst the ear drums of marine mammals – particularly whales – and even kill them.
Whales can communicate with each other over thousands of miles, but not when when to human made noise drowns them out. Sea life depend on sound for virtually every aspect of their lives from mating and raising their young, to finding food, and avoiding hazards and predators. We are detroying their capability to use this critical sense, but WE DON’T HAVE TO, AND WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
This documentary has been screened across the country, and you can host your own screening by contacting this… It will also be played on the Discovery Channel on May 19, 2006 at 9pm (ET). Below are two trailers for the program.
