I think our common sense tells us that any fish or mammal population is going to move away from such an annoying sound.

Ironically, it may have been saved from outright extinction by--wait for it--fossil fuels, which made whale oil obsolete.

Seismic testing is NOT synonymous with offshore oil and gas extraction, nor has it been found to be detrimental to marine mammal stocks.

If it is true, I am shocked, just shocked, that my friends on the left are not shocked.
