Whales Win!

Whales Win!

I've been traveling the last few days and didn't have much time to post on Switchboard, but I would be remiss if I didn't give a quick shout out to my colleagues at NRDC's Marine Mammal Protection Program, who scored yet another landmark victory in NRDC's ongoing campaign to protect ocean life from deadly Navy sonar and other forms of hazardous noise pollution. The Navy will no doubt appeal, but I'm confident NRDC will prevail.  We're right on the science, we're right on the law and, most importantly, we are advocating for common sense solutions.  Speaking of common sense, it sure would help if the Navy would get some.

Fantastic news! My attention has been devoted too much to the Presidential campaign lately. I can't help myself.

To be honest, I didn't hold out much hope for the whales. I thought the Navy would prevail. I was wrong.

Tides truly are turning...
