Question

Did you know that some organizations conduct sonar and explosives testing in identified habitats of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, furthering the real possibility of their extinction? Follow this link to Ocean Conservation Research for details. In addition to disrupting their sleep, this testing causes grave harm, even death, to ocean creatures. Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are so affected that in Guam eight senators created a resolution, with strong backing from the community, to stop the sonar and explosives testing in that region. Of course the people of Guam care about the animals, but there are additional problems when these animals are maimed and killed. Guam is an island nation where their cultural identity, social fabric, and economy are linked to the health of their region’s sea life. 

Your next step for action is to investigate and write about sonar and/or explosives testing in the ocean. Find out where it is happening, what parts of the world, and more details such as communities affected and environmental impact. Based on your research, select some information that is most meaningful to you.
