Beware, The Beached Canaries*
What Stranded Dolphins and Whales are Trying to Tell Us
About a Global Emergency Beneath the Sea
by Bobbie
Sandoz, MSW - BSANDOZ@aol.com
(*The
death of canaries taken into coal mines warned miners of trouble below.)
In
the last few months, hundreds of dolphins are washing up dead along European
shores while dolphins and whales are again playing with people in Hawaii after
two years of ignoring them following our government sonifying these high level
beings in their own Marine Sanctuary. This grateful return of their
friendliness toward humans in Hawaii is clearly an act of forgiving the
unforgivable.
In
January, hundreds of dolphins stranded along our eastern coast, while a
superpod of orcas off California circled a group of boats to flirt and play
with the people aboard, then remained afloat on the surface as the sun set on
their fins. A similar contrast occurred last summer when a group of San Juan
Orcas appeared in time to appreciate a human concert given in their honor,
showing particular interest in Amazing Grace, or forgiveness without merit,
while hundreds of their gray whale cousins washed up dead on west coast shores.
Although
these events contribute to an uneasy yet growing pattern of marine mammal
strandings juxtaposed to their kindness to us, there has been little media
coverage of this disturbing phenomenon or a true investigation of why it is
happening. Are we so indifferent that we don't really care or is there a
massive cover-up....or both?
To
add to the disquiet of these events, independent scientists strongly disagree
with government-funded "experts" on the true effect of an extremely
intense and apparently lethal force going into the ocean called low frequency
active sonar (LFAS) that appears to be leaving a trail of corpses in its path.
Yet, in spite of the controversy over its safety, our government is pushing
forward to deploy this risky technology in 80% of the world's oceans in an
apparent effort to get it underway before the public learns more about it.
Will
we remain cooperatively in denial, uninformed, and dangerously silent in the
face of this potential planetary holocaust as we have in the past, or will we
awaken in time to stop this serious threat to all marine life? And, if we fail
to respond, what will the consequences be for our own survival and souls?
In
view of a possible cover-up buttressed by our indifference, could it be that
the intelligent dolphins and whales are making their way to our public and
popular shores before dying in order to serve as "beached canaries"
that warn of something amiss in their hidden world beneath the sea? If so, will
their massive deaths at our feet pull us out of deep moral slumber or fall on
the cold hearts of an uncaring species?
**The LFAS
Story**
Following
a brief yet troubled period of LFAS testing at levels far below those planned
for actual use that resulted in trauma and death, this reckless technology is
in the process of being pushed toward premature deployment in 80% of the
world's oceans.
Sadly,
slick propaganda programs dispensed by in-house "experts" have
succeeded in convincing a slumbering media and uninformed populous that the
dolphins and whales are unaffected by intensely explosive blasts ripping
through their ocean home with sustained intensity for hundreds of miles,
causing damage and death in their wake.
Thus,
in contrast to government claims of safety, outraged boat captains, swimmers,
independent researchers, and environmentalists have observed this technology to
be highly disruptive and deadly to marine life, even at the considerably lower
decibels used during brief public testing than those planned for actual
extensive and classified use.
Even
more frustrating, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), established to
protect marine life, appears to be aligned with the government-funded
"experts" promoting LFAS. They also appear to be ignoring required
protocol in order to prematurely slip the U.S. Navy a permit to harass and kill
whales which will serve as the green light needed to unleash this risky
technology into full and unfettered, classified deployment.
Eerily,
the NMFS is also the organization assigned to oversee the testing done on the
"beached canaries" stranding on our shores. Yet, while they publicly
serve as the protector of marine life, behind the scenes they seem to prefer
keeping these strandings in the category of an "unsolved mystery" to
risking discovery of a possible connection to sonar exposure by checking their
ears for rupture or their tissue for signs of explosion and shredding. Instead of conducting these revealing tests,
they offer vague explanations that don't hold up, while focusing their search
for answers solely on viruses, red tides, and other toxic algae that were neither
in the problem areas nor have caused this kind of cetacean carnage in the
past.
In
view of this seeming bias in favor of LFAS and the dual role it creates for the
NMFS, should they ever concede to test the ears or tissue of stranded marine
corpses for sonar exposure, the public would be wise to insist that non
government-funded and independent researchers bear witness to their exams.
It's
also important to notice that the brain and tissue fissures, lesions, and
ruptures as well as mass starvation consistently found in these and other recent
marine mammal corpses resemble the symptoms of sonar exposure described by the
Marine Mammal Commission when in 1997 they predicted that lung and tissue
hemorrhage and trauma in marine mammals (and fish) as well as cavity explosion
and hearing loss causing subsequent starvation was likely to occur if LFAS was
employed worldwide as proposed.
So
why is the connection between these known symptoms of sonar exposure (similar
to microwave explosions) and those found in stranded marine mammal corpses
being ignored -- especially when sonar activities are rumored to be taking
place in several of the affected areas?
And,
now that we are on the brink of full deployment of this unexamined force, will
the American public awaken in time to make the connection, check its validity,
and if there is a connection, stop the madness? Or, will we remain drugged by our usual denial and the silence of
fear and apathy as we have during other holocausts at human hands, enabling yet
more government crimes against nature and others as well as ourselves?
Could
this be the pivotal point at which humans decide if we will orchestrate our own
self-destruction with our typically passive response to impersonal government
actions or rally as caring individuals in time to uncover the path of our more
conscious, courageous, and higher selves as well as a safe and golden future
for our world, ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren?
I
was pondering these questions one day as I swam in a bay amidst 50 dolphins who
approached and circled me, then stayed to play for over an hour. I was
surprised by their visit in view of my mood, since they usually avoid me when
my thoughts are weighty. But, on this particular day they swam near me to play,
show off their babies, and engage me in beguiling and flirty gazes. I reflected
on my decade of friendship with these high-level beings and the notable lessons
I had learned from them that I had not learned from humans about how to be a
more loving and joyful human being.
I
wondered as I swam if my species would have the wisdom to allow the sweet grace
of these bright and loving beings to serve as mirrors reflecting our need to
seek a higher place in ourselves where we might act as kindly toward others as
cetaceans do. I also thought of the American Indian elders predicting that
whatever happens to "the great beast" -- or whale -- will also happen
to humanity, and I wondered which fork in the road of our forecasted futures we
would take -- the Apocalypse or golden age.
Then
it occurred to me that as humanity stands at the portal of the new millennium,
it is in our power to select which road we will travel. We can continue to kill
the saints and sages in our midst or change the course of human history by
surrendering our self-centered ways to their more lofty and loving teachings.
Yet
before we can claim this higher potential, we must address what kind of species
we truly want to be and which future we wish to create. We must then commit to
becoming and creating whatever we choose.
I also realized that to succeed in doing this we need look no further
than to the model of loving kindness the dolphins and whales offer or the
manifesting tools the dolphins revealed to me in "Listening to Wild
Dolphins" which I have woven into my suggestions for how we can respond to
the LFAS challenge.
INFORMATION
AND RESOURCES
***PATTERN
OF STRANDINGS THAT MAY LINK TO LFAS ACTIVITY:
*
EUROPE - In February, 2000, 100s of dolphins began washing up on European
shores.
*
THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE - On January 21, 2000, Katie Couric asked on "The
Today Show" why hundreds of dolphins are beaching along the Atlantic
coastline. Although brain and other tissue lesions have been found in these
cetaceans, one of the symptoms predicted by the Marine Mammal Commission in
1997 for LFAS exposure, ears are not being checked. In view of the far-reaching
effect of sonar exposure predicted by independent researchers, some suspect
apparent NATO sonar in the general area may be the cause.
*
FLORIDA - On January 3, 2000, Associated Press reported that scientists were
trying to determine why dolphins have been washing up dead on northwest Florida
shores over the last month. Although a previously severe outbreak of red tide
did not kill dolphins, it appears that only red tide and other toxins are being
examined as a possible cause, rather than also include an examination of their
ear canals to prove or disprove the important variable of possible sonar
exposure.
*
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS - In early October, 1999, scientists in the water heard
sonar sounds, followed by multiple cetacean strandings in the area.
Government-funded ear canal testing expert Dr. Darlene Ketten from Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute, was summoned by many groups to run ear canal tests,
but results have not yet been revealed. If they are, citizens must determine if
anyone other than government-funded scientists were present in order to
neutralize any conflicts of interest.
*
THE CANARY ISLANDS - A total of 21 whale strandings in 1985, 1988, and 1989
were linked to visible US Navy maneuvers. These were the only times that whales
were reported to strand in the Canary Islands. (Nature, 1991) Award-winning
French biologist Dr. Michael Andre, free from our government's influence,
learned from necropsies while studying the decline in sperm whales in this area
that two of the whales (who were involved in the increasing whale collisions
with boats in the area) were deaf as suspected.
*
THE ATLANTIC COAST - In 1987, dolphins exposed to 235 decibels of sonar
stranded and were found to suffer from tissue and lung explosion. (This
information was allegedly found by Dr. Joe Geraci and buried in reports on
file.) Since this revelation, there has
been a great deal of resistance to obtaining autopsies that check for these
types of problems, also predicted by the Marine Mammal Commission in 1997
(possibly based on Dr. Geraci's findings) to be a consequence of LFAS.
*
THE HARO STRAIT, SAN JUAN ISLANDS - In the Summer of 1996, 195 decibels were
sent into this key waterway used by orcas, porpoises, seals, and other mammals,
followed by an increase in strandings of these mammals. ABC News recently
reported that the previously thriving orca population from this area is now in
enough trouble to be considered eligible for the Endangered Species list.
*
THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA NEAR GREECE - In 1996, twelve Cuvier's beaked whales
documented to be exposed to NATO sonar at 150-160 decibels were found stranded.
At the same time about 200 stranded dolphins were suspected of suffering from
tissue explosion. (Nature, 1996) LFAS levels to be used by the U.S. are
reported to be 180 decibels in areas near shore and could go considerably
higher, once deployment is underway and this program is classified.
*
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - In 1998, three whale calves and one dolphin calf were
found dead or abandoned during and immediately following sonar testing, even
though in 15 years of research this phenomenon had never been observed. One of these was a distressed whale calf who
breached 230 times and pectoral slapped 658 times in front of Dr. Marsha
Green's research team in a four-hour period before the sun set on his distress.
In addition, a pod of dolphins was observed by naturalists familiar with normal
dolphin behavior huddling unusually close to the shore near the surface and
vocalizing excessively while the sound was on.
*
CALIFORNIA- Since the open testing in California began in 1997, sonar exposed
whales immediately began to strand in increased numbers. In addition, there was
a report of uncharacteristically aggressive behavior which is known to be a
symptom of LFAS exposure. More recently, The Malibu Times reported in January,
1999, that more than 150 gray whales were found dead due to starvation along
their migratory route where testing took place in 1998. Starvation can be a
result of deafness, but ears were not checked in these cetaceans, even though
the cause of death has remained a mystery.
*
AUSTRALIA - Rumor has it that the Australian government has questioned a
connection between observed US Navy and NATO maneuvering and strandings off
their shores.
*
UNKNOWN - In view of indications that brain and body tissue explodes and body
cavities (bladders, lungs, and ear canals) rupture when exposed to sonar
blasts, it is plausible to assume that most affected marine mammals will sink
to the ocean floor, rather than make their way to a beach in order for us to
view their plight. And who knows what the effect this risky technology has on
the thousands of other, smaller forms of marine life, less able to withstand
such a powerful force.

WAYS
TO RESPOND
*We
must first face the seriousness of the threat LFAS poses to marine life and
ourselves. For only then, will we break our silence and engage in clear but
gentle action with the urgency this issue deserves.
*We
must then let our Congressional representative, ultimately responsible for this
program, know of its possible consequences and insist that they stop all forward
movement of this program until it can be proven that it will not cause the
massive destruction concerned non-government scientists and citizens fear.
*We
must then insist on extensive and highly monitored necropsies of currently
stranded mammals, including full ear exams -- since such tests could expose
possible sonar exposure. Only by having this information will we know if the
sonar technology is connected to these deaths as many environmentalists
suspect.
*We
must then insist that the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) halt all
movement toward deployment of this unexamined power.
*We
must demand that the possibility of a conflict of interest on the part of NMFS
be seriously scrutinized in view of their apparent bias and seeming partnership
with the U.S. Navy in this risky government operation they have been charged
with overseeing.
*We
must send copies of all correspondence on this and other protests to the media,
our president, and congressional representatives -- since such letters give witness
to our concerns and constitute our greatest power to influence or reverse
government decisions we do not approve.
*Some,
including myself, will view this issue as important enough to organize a
peacefully powerful march in Washington since visibility and numbers are
imperative to change in this country.
*Hopefully,
responsible media will invite the listed panel of independent experts who have
uncovered evidence that points to potentially serious and illegal errors and
omissions made in the process of testing and activating this technology they
consider far more dangerous than claimed.
*Teachers
may wish to introduce this topic in their classrooms and invite students to
uncover, lobby for, and implement solutions. In doing this, we enlist the
spirits and insights of this national treasure to help us become our best
selves while teaching the art of kindness, cooperation, and friendship with our
global family.

UPDATE:
As
some of you will be aware, there has been a mass mortality of cetaceans in the
Bahamas over the last few days. As of
Saturday, at least 12 beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris and Ziphius
cavirostris), 1 minke whale, 1 dolphin, and 1 unidentified balaenopterid
(Brydes or fin) had died, with other ziphiids stranding live and being pushed
back out. Mortalities occurred between
Grand Bahama and the Abacos; given the number and isolation of islands in the
area, it is very likely that not all carcasses have been located.
The
mortality coincides with US Navy exercises in the area; the exercises appear to
have involved explosives detonation, although active acoustics work *may* have
been conducted also. There is no
confirmation that the latter occurred in this area, or whether LFA activity was
involved. (LFA = Low Frequency Active
acoustics, a highly controversial anti-submarine technology which has been the
subject of much debate in the marine mammal field. Recall that a NATO LFA exercise in the Med is widely believed to
have been responsible for a mass mortality of beaked whales a few years ago).
As
of this morning (Monday), five ziphiids had been secured and necropsied by Ken
Balcomb (who lives on site) and Nan Hauser/Hoyt Peckham (Center for Cetacean
Research and Conservation, Maine; who flew down on Saturday).
Darlene
Ketten (Harvard/WHOI) arrived yesterday to extract ears from these animals and
any others which become available.
Charley Potter (Smithsonian Institution) is also on site.
An
aerial survey will attempt to locate other carcasses today.
Needless
to say, there are a lot of unanswered questions here, and we should be
demanding answers ASAP: Did the Navy
submit an EA to NMFS on this exercise? If so, did NMFS comment or simply allow
this to go ahead? Was LFA or other
acoustics "experimentation" involved? Does the Bahamian government have a role in this?

Resources for Dealing with Animal Abusers
Psychologists
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PSYETA) recognize that animal abusers
deserve not only jail time, but need psychological counseling. Many states now realize this. The cruelty statutes of California,
Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, and
Washington authorize psychological counseling, making it more likely that
judges will recommend treatment.
PSYETA
has developed the AniCare Model Treatment Program for Animal Abusers. A
cognitive behavioral model, AniCare "challenges maladaptive attitudes and
beliefs about animals, explores family history, and educates clients about how
social factors such as pseudo-masculinity and anthropocentrism, may encourage
the abuse of animals."
A
mental health professional can use the AniCare treatment model to help the
abuser recognize and break the cycle of violence in which animal abuse leads to
violence directed against humans.
If
you would like to make law enforcement officials and social service providers
in your area aware of the AniCare Model, you can reach PSYETA in Maryland at
(301) 963-4751; or by e-mail at:
