What is Sonar?Sonar is originally a acronym for sound navigation and ranging
Sonar is used to detect other sea vessels, and to communicate between those vessels
Also sonar is used for navigation

Two Types of Sonar
Active SonarWhen sounds are
emitted in pulses, and listing for echo's
Passive SonarBasically used for
detecting noise made by other vessels

Active Sonar Active sonar can detect vessels that are to quiet to be picked up by passive sonar
Active sonar is also used to detect marine mammals such as whales
Also active sonar detects marine mammals in shipping lanes, or in high sound pressure zones.
These high sound pressure zones are usually used for military exercise

Passive SonarPassive sonar picks up sounds using electronic listening equipment.
A target can be detected by the noise it makes from its machinery, the propeller, or the sound of the water passing around the vessel as it travels.

What Type Causes More Harm?
The active sonar is what causes the problems for the whales
It is usually beaked whales beachedBeaked whales are mainly affected by the
active sonar

Difference in HertzMany military’s are now focusing on new
types of sonar
Military’s are testing and finding that low frequency sonar are not affecting, or stranding the beaked whales
This may led to a compromise between the military and environmentalists trying to protect the whales

Hertz Measurements
Low frequency sonar is different from mid frequency sonar
Low frequency sonar puts out between 100 and 300 hertz, whereas mid frequency sonar puts out between 2,000 and 10,000 hertz

How Military Sonar Affects WhalesWhy are whales beaching themselves
from the sonar?Researchers believe that the sonar causes
decomposition sickness or “bends”This is common among scuba divers that
rise to the surface to quick

Research Behind the StrandingIn 2002 there were autopsies preformed on
stranded beaked whalesFour hours after a military sonar test started
the beaked whales started to beach themselves

What Did the Autopsies Reveal?The researchers had eight beached specimen
to examineWhen they were performing the autopsies
they found two problems
