I would never propose an experiment of any kind that I thought could possibly harm a whale.

I think any more than two years would have been unreasonable. There really wasn't much harm done here.

[The Navy once asked some scientists,] If you had a sound source that sounded like a blue whale voice, what would you be able to do with it? ... could illuminate an entire ocean basin.

If a victim is wearing such a device it may enrage the attacker further and possibly result in more harm being caused.

They're an urban whale, really, if you will. They're found near shore near these large, busy ports.

We're just going to keep playing the best we possibly can. If do that then everything will take care of itself.
