Euro MPs have called for a ban on warships using submarine-seeking sonar devices because campaigners believe they may be killing dolphins and whales. Scientists believe the Low Frequency Active Sonar (LFAS) submarine trackers are causing internal bleeding, deafness and lung damage in dolphins and depleting already-threatened fish stocks. The MEPs want a complete moratorium on LFAS use in European waters until a full environmental impact assessment is carried out, as required by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The MEPs say investigations have shown that strandings of marine mammals have become more commonplace following tests of the devices. They claim more than 17 whales, dolphins and porpoises were beached in March 2000 following US tests near the Bahamas.
