Noise can cause marine mammals to interrupt their feeding, alter their vocalizations, or
leave important habitat, among other behavioural responses. The current North American …

Over the past several years, many investigators interested in the effects of man-made
sounds on animals have come to realize that there is much to gain from studying the broader …

Ship** is the dominant marine anthropogenic noise source in the world's oceans, yet we
know little about vessel encounter rates, exposure levels and behavioural reactions for …

Despite the rapid increase in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in marine
mammal research, knowledge of the effects of UAVs on study animals is very limited. We …

Recreational boating is an increasing activity in coastal areas and its spatiotemporal overlap
with key habitats of marine species pose a risk for negative noise impacts. Yet, recreational …

Marine mammals (whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea cows) use sound both actively and
passively to communicate and sense their environment, covering frequencies from a few …

Combining calibrated hydrophone measurements with vessel location data from the
Automatic Identification System, we estimate underwater sound pressure levels for 1,582 …

As human activities impact virtually every animal habitat on the planet, identifying species at-
risk from disturbance is a priority. Cetaceans are an example taxon where responsiveness to …

Cetaceans rely critically on sound for navigation, foraging and communication and are
therefore potentially affected by increasing noise levels from human activities at sea …

Effects of constructing the DanTysk offshore wind farm (German Bight, 80 turbines, 6 m
diameter foundations) were studied by passive acoustic monitoring of pile-driving noise and …
