zzzzziiiiittt .... Whale on Whale on !!!
" The Navy also won't be able to exceed a set number of major training exercises in the channel between Maui and the Big Island and on the western side of the Big Island."
EXACTLY !!!
But oh, Ted 'got me' on a technicality. My bad to assume and believe the OP was inquiring about land-to-sea sighting's off the coast here.
Speaking of, I read another, opaque and unrelated-to-thread-topic detour about this by you Ted a while back.

In a way, the protest against TMT on Mauna Kea has acted like a smoke screen, hiding other activities that are far more harmful to the environment.
The US Navy has now gotten approval to conduct full scale sonar and explosives exercises in Maui Channel. They have been given permission to have "collateral damage" of hundreds of whales and dolphins. This is in association with P-8 testing, meaning high altitude test drops of multiple ordinance. Somehow, these approvals are flying through with no native or even kamaaina transplant protesters, when they know what happened to Kahoolawe. As TV Batman would say, "Poor misguided creatures".
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"

Ted, since the article you are posting today was published about a week before your above 09/20/15 rant, I can only wonder if you read it and then simply applied your typically twisted, cynical views and spun it here for us ?
No wonder whales decided to remain in the Sea.
