Oceans at Risk

Series: Living Well Show
From: Donna Descoteaux
Length: 00:28:47

Rosalind Peterson - California President and Co-Founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (ADC) alerts us to the U.S. Navy’s training exercise that will ‘take’ 11.7 million marine mammals (32 Separate Species), along the Northern, California, Oregon and Washington areas of the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. Department of Commerce – NOAA (NMFS) defines “TAKE” as "harass, harm, hunt, pursue, capture, kill, shoot, wound or collect.” Read the full description.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS under NOAA), has already approved the “taking” of marine mammals in more than a dozen Navy Range Warfare Testing Complexes. She highlights the lack of oversight and accountability in the ‘taking’ process and shares her deep concern for the safety of our marine life. In her article, titled MARINE MAMMALS & OTHER SEA LIFE TO BE DECIMATED, she states, “The “taking” of marine mammals negatively impacts the entire ecology of our oceans and the life in them which feeds large numbers of people and other species around the world. It should be noted that the list of toxic chemicals that the Navy proposes to use is a long one as noted in the Navy E.I.S. - Depleted uranium, red and white phosphorus, mercury, lead, and a whole host of chemicals known to

be toxic not only to man, but to marine life, are being served up on the “Navy Warfare Chemical Menu” that will contaminate our air, water, and soil.”  This is a very important environmental issue that has received very little public attention.
