This seems to be an objective look at the current state of affairs concerning Navy sonar testing, along with seismic explorations and ship noise, and disturbance or harm to marine mammals. Not mentioned, to my knowledge, are the effects of explosions of munitions and explosive active sonars, as planned in the proposed expansion of the Navy's NW Training Range (http://www.orcanetwork.org/help/nwtrange.html).
