FWD: Diablo Canyon Relicensing Requires Seismic Blasts That Will Injure Whales & Other Sea Creatures [It looks like at least some of those sonic blasts might be linked to relicensing CA's *other* NPP--- the one not yet in (public) trouble.]

As an activist, I feel very blessed to be involved with the Marine Life Protection Act (which created a series of marine protected areas up and down our coast). You see, nobody's ever done this before, nothing like this has ever been tried. So nobody can look down their nose at you and tell you you're doing it wrong. Or right. What we're doing is being done for the very first time, and all that old stuff, the old ways of doing things- well, it just didn't work. So now it's OUR turn to try! And like I've been saying, the very first two State Marine Reserves are already under viscious attack! The drive to Sacramento was well worth it! So far, it comes down to this: PG&E aren't just planning to do the seismic testing on their own; they have been mandated to do it by the legislature in order to get their re-lisencing! At this point in time, it turns out that the Central Coast Waterboard erroneously gave Morro Bay Harbor Department permission to dredge adjacent to the State Marine Reserve in Morro Bay Estuary perhaps, I guess, because they didn't know they were already signatories to a Memorandum of Understanding between many state and federal regulatory agencies to work together to implement the Marine Life Protection Act, and protect State Marine Reserves like the one whose death warrant they just signed! And, one thing leading to another, the very next State Marine Reserve on the list, the Point Buchon State Marine reserve, is in very real danger of having all life within it -including Great Blue Whales- killed with 260 decibel seismic blasts, every 63 seconds around the clock for 40 days and 40 nights. 40 days and 40 nights; remind you of anything? Anyway, I've created the FB page: Stop the Diablo Canyon Seismic Testing ...and I urge you to join and share and urge your friends to join. My plan is to stop the testing by stopping people from playing fast and loose with our new network of Marine Reserves! We have great activists out here, some excellent people in key government positions, and we can win for the whales- by making an even louder noise than any seismic testing! Stay tuned for more, the party just started! love and respect, joey racano ps- thanx to the folks in Sacramento for really caring, listening and helping! photo L-R Sonke Mastrup (F&G Comm) Mellisa Miller-Henson, Cat Kuhlman (Deputy Sec for Oceans and Coast), Ken Wiseman (Exec Drctr, MLPA) Joey Racano: 'Weapon of mass discussion' Scribd.com/joeyracano http://littleshell.earthsourcemedia.org Youtube.com/joeyracano1 ### At 11:05 AM 7/6/2012, Julie Levine wrote: Begin forwarded message: From: "Lyndia Storey" <[email protected]> Date: July 6, 2012 7:54:32 AM PDT To: "Julie Levine" <[email protected]> Subject: Navy to kill 1,800 whales and dolphins?
