The Cuvier’s beaked whale is sensitive to noise, and a number of mass strandings have been recorded around the world following Navy sonar events. As a result, the Spanish Navy maintains a 50-nautical-mile (92.6 km) quiet zone around the Canary Islands, where many beaked whales are found and where these incidents have occurred in the past.<br/> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br/> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br/> </div> </body> </html>
