SONIC CANNONS reach one hundred times the sound power level of a jet engine at 25 meters (140 dB). Marine animals closer will experience sound level up to 190 dB,
THESE DEAFENING SOUND POWER LEVELS will destroy tissue, killing marine animals outright or incurring permanent deafness, particularly in sea turtles and whales; especially at risk is the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale Eubalaena glacialis

We must reach 100,000 signatures by all concerned Americans by the last day of August, 2014.
Dear Care2 Member,
A situation has arisen in which immediate action must be taken to preserve marine species on the brink of extinction. Oil and gas exploration companies have been permitted by the U.S. Bureau Of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to make use of sonic cannons to capture images of deposits under the sea bed. It is imperative that we force the Obama Adminstration to revisit this ruling and provide scientific evidence that sonic cannons will not harm the eco-sphere. We know for a fact that such evidence does not exist. In fact, the use of sonic cannons has already been shown to kill whales and sea turtles.
