One approach for protecting marine mammals might be to monitor their populations and initiate protective measures for populations in decline. However, we cannot estimate trends precisely for …

Since the 1970s there has been increasing concern about the potential impacts of underwater anthropogenic noise on marine animals. Sources range from short-term coastal ones such as pile …

Marine mammal observations during seismic surveys from 1994-2010. JNCC report, No. 463a. Peer review was undertaken throughout this project both internally by JNCC and externally by...

Oct 11, 2019 · A concomitant increase in underwater noise has been reported in several regions around the globe. Given the important role sound plays in the life functions of marine mammals, research on …

An example of predicted received levels (71-224 Hz, dB re 1μPa, scale far right) produced by calling right whales, large commercial ships and wind-dependent background noise within the study area …

Understanding marine mammal communication is pivotal for conservation efforts, as disruptions in acoustic environments—such as those caused by noise pollution from shipping, seismic exploration, …

With some specific notable exceptions (such as demand reduction; Wright, 2014), cur-rent mitigation measures (such as use of marine mammal observers) are generally ineffective at reducing the …

This review highlights significant gaps in our knowledge of the effects of seismic air-gun noise on marine mammals. although the characteristics of the seismic signal at different ranges and depths and at …

Jun 24, 2025 · The threat of aquatic noise pollution is examined in this article, with particular attention paid to shipping and marine seismic surveys, their impacts on marine life, and possible remedies to …

Oct 4, 2024 · Underwater radiated noise from shipping is the most widespread and pervasive human noise in marine ecosystems. Mounting evidence indicates that this noise source can cause changes …
