WEAN leads opposition to Navy training in parks
"The Navy wants to significantly expand its locations for realistic military exercises in coastal northwestern Washington, and a Whidbey group wants people to know more about the covert activity.
In a plan to be presented to the State Parks Commission, Navy personnel would engage in “Naval Special Operations Training” at up to 29 state parks, four county sites, eight city sites, 17 other public sites and two private marinas.
Whidbey Environmental Action Network, known as WEAN, is leading an effort to notify people about the Navy’s plans."
