Navy Training Range Expansion


The White House Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force is now asking for input on the Navy's proposed testing and training expansion in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho.

PLEASE ADD YOUR VOICE.

A partial listing of the methods and toxins to be used in the 5-year warfare testing plan -- which will decimate millions of marine mammals and impact human health and air and water supplies along our coastline -- can be found HERE.

This website also includes a link to the White House Council on Environmental Quality where you can submit your comments to the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force.

The Northwest Training Range Complex EIS is still in the process of addressing the long term effects of such a large Navy expansion. More background information, along with other actions we can take on the expansion of Naval activity in our region is available HERE.
