Humans generate sounds in the ocean intentionally (e.g., sonar) and as a consequence of other activities (e.g., shipping). These sounds increase the noise level in the acoustic spectrum which one or more species of marine mammals utilize. Different marine mammal species are sensitive to ...
Ocean Noise and Marine Mammals For the 119 species of marine mammals, as well as for some other aquatic animals, sound is the primary means of learning about the environment and of communicating, navigating, and foraging. The possibility that human-generated noise cou... NR Council - 《Natl ...
most closely bonded societies in our oceans. Their languages, culture and identity are shaped by ocean sounds. We want to involve people to get to hear them, to understand their essential role within the marine ecosystem and the threats they face from our activities, in particular ocean noise....
VANCOUVER — Marine scientist Kieran Cox calls it "probably the most pervasive, unregulated pollutant in Canada and globally." It's not plastic, petrochemicals or another chemical toxin. It's underwater noise.
