U.S. Judge Blocks Navy Use of Sonar in RIMPAC War Games
A federal judge in Los Angeles today issued a temporary restraining order blocking the use of high-intensity, mid-frequency sonar by the U.S. Navy during international RIMPAC war games now taking place in waters around Hawaii. The order by U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper in response to a lawsuit by conservation groups comes three days after the Pentagon declared the Navy exempt from the U.S. law requiring actions to avoid harm to marine mammals.
