Sonar affects most marine mammals in a very negative way. It can cause them (especially whales) to dive down very deep and surface too quickly in an effort to escape the sound. This causes them to suffer from an ailment that we commonly know as 'the bends' it causes headaches, nosebleeds and, depending on the severity, fatal haemmoraging. It also, as most marine mammals use sonar to navigate, causes them to lose their way when they hear the artificial signals as they confuse them. Many whales get beached and often die.

no sonar can harass injure or even kill marine mammels while flooding the ocean with intense noise.
no but victoire does!
by raping them
sonar whales should be put in the military. The have a huge radius in hearing and it can be helpful alot to military troops
It has been known too but the military Denys it.
No
wHALES
Yes They Do
Some negative effects of sonar are that marine animals like whales and dolphins are being effected and not being able to use their sonar very well. It is proven that the reason whales "beach" is because the tests of low-frequency sonar's mess up the hearing of whales and make them lose their sense of direction.
The oragin of the sonar in whales in dolpins. They were the first to use ecolocation to ee under water.
yes
Sonar has been linked to injury and to the stranding of whales and some other marine mammals. It is difficult to actually prove a "causal connection" between sonar and the injuries and strandings, but oceanographers and marine biologists are working on this issue. Laws have been passed recently in the U.S. and the military has been given a Presidential override on their use of sonar because it is too important to national security to restrict its use.
Killer whales use sonar which is a form of echolocation.
They speak using sonar
mostly dolphins/porpoises and whales
