This is fekked up. Not only does it suck that they killed a Dugong for the cause, but there is also the small fact that Dugong don't live in Our Bay where the base is. This Dugong was found on the other side of Northern Okinawa at Unten Port in Nakajin. Not even in the realm of possibilities that this thing was there, unless it had been airlifted.
I smell fuggery afoot…
Dugong died … 12 groups of rice nature conservation, a letter to the lower house asking for temporary suspension of Heno construction
[Juan Annan, US special order reporter] Following the discovery of the dead body of the national natural monument dugong at Nuanjing fishing port in Nakijin Village, 12 US conservation groups in the United States are on the 19th (local time) of the US House of Representatives Committee Commanded Adam Smith and the President of the Pentagon to suspend construction of a new base in Nago City, Nago City, which is seriously damaging the environment, and the US Congress uses the right to audit the US Environmental Law. I sent a letter with the name of the party asking for compliance.
The body of a dugong laid on the quay of a fishing port. It was caught on the sea side of the jetty behind the left = 18th, Nakijin village, Unten fishing port
The letter says that the Pentagon is acting indiscriminately, causing irreparable damage to the environment, even though the "Okinawa Dugong litigation" on the issue is under way in the US courts, although US environmental law compliance is in progress And pointed out. Assuming that coral reefs and seaweeds, which are important habitats of the endangered species dugong, have already been destroyed in the early stages of construction, “If these new bases are completed without complying with US environmental laws, these marine mammals will become extinct There is a possibility that the US Department of Defense's stance on forcing construction will be severely criticized.
In addition, Okinawan people stressed that they expressed their overwhelming opposition to the construction of a new base in a democratic prefectural poll.
In the statement on the same day, the Okinawa Dukeon Litigation Plaintiff's “Biodiversity Center” (CBD) said, “To wipe out friendly animals to build a controversial new base would seriously undermine America's international reputation It will be warned. (Sic) Translated by chrome
