Not anymore, thanks to the courts.
(how did this ever make it to an Appeals Court?)

* Sorry Charlie. A federal appeals court decided Wednesday that marine mammals
have no standing to sue to stop the U.S. Navy from using sonar. In upholding a
lower court decision, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals said the world's cetaceans - whales, porpoises and dolphins - have no
standing under the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act or
the National Environmental Policy Act.

(Compiled by the staff of FederalNewsRadio.com, 2004.)

Perhaps not (and, I feel, unjustly not - but then there is rarely
justice for the least powerful in this world), but the people for whom
these animals are a specific point of interest and concern, do have
standing.
