Spare Ocean From Navy’s Bombs
* I find it appalling that our Navy is requesting a permit to explode 10,000-pound bombs just 80 miles off our Ventura coastline (June 11). This area surrounding the Channel Islands is teeming with ocean life, including dolphins and nearly extinct whales.
The Navy admits “incidental killings” could occur. With all the Navy’s sophisticated engineering technology, why can’t they use the brilliant minds and computer models our country offers and spare our precious oceans?
