Major energy company uses seismic testing in whale feeding ground despite known effects
Testing for natural resources in the ocean has become quite the controversial subject with regards to the impact that is has on whale populations and their survival. Recently, an energy company by the name of Woodside decided to use a testing technique that implements air guns to find deposits of natural gas beneath the ocean’s surface. This technique shoots compressed air at high velocity and creates a seismic blast, which anyone with a bit of scientific knowledge knows can be very harmful to whales in a number of ways.
