Our oceans will BLEED and our people will CRY if we don't STOP the NAVY warfare testing range expansion that will start in 2014 if we don't stop it.
Please take the time to READ this document. It comes straight from the Horses mouth, the NAVY, this is their plan for OUR ISLANDS and it will affect YOU, our OCEAN, our marine LIFE, from fish to reef.
In accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Navy has completed the Hawaii Range Complex (HRC) Final Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) to assess ongoing and proposed Naval activities. Preparation of this document is part of the Navy’s overall commitment to environmental stewardship. This website has been developed to provide a convenient “one-stop” source to the public for the HRC EIS/OEIS and other related NEPA documents. To help make this site even more useful, information on related topics and links to other sites is provided.
All of the environmental documents relate in one way or another to our armed forces’ need to adequately train and test their equipment and personnel before they are involved in actual combat situations. Realistic training is the single greatest asset the military has in preparing and protecting American service men and women to defend their country. While fulfilling its mission to train Sailors to survive when they must go in harm’s way, the Navy addresses environmental protection as a primary goal.
Hawaii is especially rich in environmental resources. The Navy in Hawaii is aware of the special environment they live in and is frequently involved in efforts to help endangered species. Taking care of the environment is standard operating procedure for the Navy in Hawaii, and it has developed a set of protective measures to avoid harming environmental resources. The Navy works with many agencies and organizations to learn more about our environmental resources and is the largest source of funding of marine mammal research in the world.
