The U.S. Pacific Fleet said in a statement Monday that the California Coastal Commission's rules cannot be applied beyond the scope of state waters, three nautical miles from shore.

Yep.

Last year, it sought permission for the exercises from the commission as part of new internal guidelines to ensure major exercises are environmentally sound.

There's the problem.

The environmentalists have a point in this case, high powered sonar waves do blind and deafen whales and other sea creatures. The mass beachings of whales that have occurred in Australia and California over the past few years might very well have been caused by naval sonars.

No evidence to support that. Whales have been beaching long before the invention of radar

You are 100% correct. 250-300db sound will travel a long ways under water.

No evidence to support that.

Huh? Even the Navy admits that it can do damage.

Whales have been beaching long before the invention of radar

And people died before the invention of the automobile but that doesn't mean a lethal MVA is "natural causes!"

Not like they have with active LFA. Lack of evidence only means we can't ask the whales where/how much it hurts. There is no way to prove it does or doesn't...but that certainly doesn't mean it's not a cause. The report from European a military source in the Med, when an active LFA ship was working near Crete, resulted in the near death of a diver, 100s of miles away.
