Massive Whale Stranding - Joshua Horwitz

In March of 2000, 16 whales and one dolphin washed up on shore in the Bahamas. This stranding, in which living, uninjured animals apparently chose to beach themselves, started the unlikely series of events in which a marine biologist and an environmental lawyer took the United States Navy to the Supreme Court to advocate for the whales that were being chased from the ocean. In his new book, War of the Whales, Joshua Horwitz explains the fallout from that stranding that continues to impact the Navy and whales to this day.
