400 dolphins recently washed up dead on a beach popular with tourists on the northern coast of Zanzibar, possibly due to US NAVAL SONAR.
Some scientists surmise that loud bursts of sonar, which can be heard for miles in the water, may disorient or scare marine mammals, causing them to surface too quickly and suffer the equivalent of what divers call the bends when sudden decompression forms nitrogen bubbles in tissue.
The most conclusive link between the use of US Military sonar and injury to marine mammals was observed from the stranding of whales in 2000 in the Bahamas. The U.S. Navy later acknowledged that sonar likely contributed to the stranding of the extremely shy species. The US Navy also admitted that sonar may have caused a group of whales to strand themselves on Hawaii in 2004 and possibly 68 deep-water dolphins in March 2005.
Given this factor above, I think it would be cool to have a few episodes where Aquaman has to try and confront the NAVY or something, dealing with the Sonar problem, maybe how it hurts his ears, or makes him sick. Or maybe have him fight a new submarine prototype, or maybe some of those Mind Controlled SHARKS the NAVY wants to develope.
What do you think???
