"...many marine animals will be exposed to LFA sonar levels capable of causing stranding and, possibly, lung hemorrhaging over large areas of the ocean." (from: "Whales to Navy: Less noise, please" By Brad Knickerbocker | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor, 15 August, 2001)

"An area of eight hundred thousand kilometers of ocean or an area larger than Texas is subject to noise louder than 120 db and can go some seven thousand km of ocean (from Hawaii to New Zealand). The sound at source is generated upwards in blasts to 230 db."
