Kaula Island, a designated seabird sanctuary used as a U.S. Navy bombing target, faces increased military exercises raising concern among environmental groups over its fragile ecosystem.
The Navy's recent proposal aims to double bombing frequency on Kaula Island, which threatens to disrupt the habitat of 100,000 seabirds and other marine life.
The Sierra Club criticizes the Navy's environmental assessment for downplaying potential ecological impacts, labeling the increase in military activity as detrimental to Kaula's natural and cultural significance.
Brian Whitehouse clarified that the Navy is not introducing new types of training but is increasing the number of gunnery and bombing exercises on Kaula Island.
