Newspaper article describing new research by scientists from St Andrews University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution that has suggested that the sound created by Navy sonar devices may be responsible for mass strandings of marine mammals. It is possible that the marine mammals confuse the sound of the sonar with killer whale calls and have a magnified anti-predator response which ends up with them becoming stranded in shallow water.
