Military Sonar And Whales (EDM793)

Military Sonar And Whales

EDM number 793 in 2004-05, proposed by Norman Baker on 28/02/2005.

That this House notes the growing international concern regarding the impact of noise pollution upon the marine environment; further notes the installation of the military active sonar 'Sonar 2087' onto HMS Westminster, and the Royal Navy's plan to install this system on six more Type 23 frigates between 2005 and 2008; is concerned at growing evidence of the potentially harmful impact of powerful sonars on marine life, such as whales and dolphins, including the death or displacement of individuals and populations; and calls on the Government to allow for a full and rigorous public review of the environmental impact of Sonar 2087, including an analysis of the extent of independent environmental scrutiny, before further testing and deployment of Sonar 2087 is allowed to commence.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
