11.14 #SaveWhales NO SEISMIC TESTING Ca Coastal Commission Santa Monica



• Damage is likely to be so terrible that mitigation is impossible, therefore you must deny project

• Otters were tagged and implanted, with no valid permits, adding to the cumulative effects of seismic testing on the ecosystem

•  Seismic Testing will do nothing to make Diablo safer

• Results are expected to be poor due to Franciscan rock formations

•  NRC has concluded the newly discovered Shoreline Fault poses no threat to Diablo

• There are alternatives, such as studying the electromagnetic properties of rocks

• Too many whales around, even in the 'off' season!

• Core population of Harbor Porpoise lives in the kill zone, and the species could go extinct

• 26% of all Southern Sea Otters in kill zone! Also prone to exhaustion and infection, having been illegally implanted w/o permits. The otter population crashed last year, and no one knows why yet.

• No science gleaned will be trustworthy because low intensity seismic have been underway and baselines are shifted

• Seismic testing will ruin 10 years of work and science that created our new Marine Protected Areas

• Just too many uncertainties/impacts poorly understood

• Food fish will be killed, leaving marine mammals and larger fish and birds to starve, and plankton will be damaged (as it was in Peru after seismic testing) causing food fish themselves to starve

• Danger to Point Buchon SMR, Morro Bay SMR, Davidson Seamount National Marine Sanctuary
