A federal judge in California has ordered the US Navy to temporarily stop using sonar equipment because it might harm whales and other sea mammals.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5143698.stm

I've seen many clashes between business and environmental interests, but I've never heard of environmentalists clashing with the military and actually winning. Is this a good thing?

I know. my point is, if I can heal up from it just fine, can't a fuckin whale that weighs 20x more than me?

Nope, the damage is much worse to whales and dolphins since the sound resonates in their cranial cavity somehow, you'd have to read the study on it since I'm no biologist.
