President Bush OK's Threat to Marine Life

Yesterday the Supreme Court gave a yes to President Bush to allow the Navy to use Sonar off the Southern California coast for ANTI-SUBMARINE TRAINING purposes. The rulings by the Los Angeles court judge and the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that prevented the use of anti-submarine training sonar was overruled. Risking the lives of our whale and dolphin population in the "interests of security" and for that for training purposes. Sonar is known to affect marine life in many ways - including disruption of their mating patterns, eating and other sensory organs.

With all the innovation at hand, why is this still necessary?
How does the government (Navy) plan to protect marine life with rulings like this? What a sad day for our wildlife!
