Abstract
⺠Several legal cases have been pursued in the US over concerns about the impacts of naval sonar during training exercises. ⺠Many of these cases expressed concerns that mitigation measures were not protecting whales - concerns often supported by the judiciary. ⺠One legal battle went to the US Supreme Court (Winter vs. Natural Resources Defense Council) but the effectiveness of mitigation was not addressed. ⺠This paper reviews these court cases and the additional mitigation measures proposed to protect whales.
