To review:
The cost–benefit analysis of the use of sonar-generated sound waves by the military on the whales.
Introduction:
The military actions do not require clearance under the environmental impact assessment (EIA). It is an established fact that their actions are affecting the behavioral patterns of whales. They use sonars to send and receive signals and, thus, in this way they keep a watch over the sea and oceans against foreign or militant attack. The military off-shore operations interfere with their communication. The researchers found that the whales increase their speed and change directions when they come in contact with the sound and rush toward beach.
