Navy Seeks to Halt Sonar-Blocking Order
From Times Wire Reports
The Navy asked a federal appeals court to block a court order that prevents it from using active sonar during its war-game exercises off Hawaii, an environmental group said.
The emergency motion, filed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, seeks a stay of an order stopping the Navy from using the sonar because of a possible danger to whales, said Daniel Hinerfeld, spokesman for the National Resources Defense Council. The Navy had no comment.
