I did not see that, nor know of its existence. I no longer suscribe to cable TV, but will try and find its presentation on another media,....perhaps youtube eventually. I brought this subject of sound desecration of our ocean environment a long time ago. I'll try to find that old posting. Thanks for the info. Brian
Here is one such posting, but the subsequent link to the navy's sonar problem is missing. http://www.yachtforums.com/threads/our-oceans-are-under-attack.11284/#post-138772 But I found a similar posting I had made on another forum back in 2005
I had written something similar in a research vessel proposal, "If we permit our oceans to become a cemetery, we may damage its alter ego the atmosphere, and ultimately our planet itself." Our oceans are a precious resource, even beyond our own imagination. We need more qualified academics in pure oceanography, in contrast to those drawn away into military weapons development or searching/developing oil resources in our seas. We need to get more kids excited about ocean studies,… …initiate and perpetuate their interest. There are no Jacques Cousteau programs as there were in my youth. We need some training & introductory vessels for these students, and I think a few of them require a romantic image in order to lure some of these young people aboard. A SAILing research vessel is one answer. And these 'quite vessels' lend themselves well to studies of sound in the ocean. Brian
