Within the set of risk factors that compromise the conservation of marine biodiversity, one of
the least understood concerns is the noise produced by human operations at sea and from …

Soundscape ecology is a rapidly growing field with approximately 93% of all scientific
articles on this topic having been published since 2010 (total about 610 publications since …

Ecological risk assessment for deep-sea mining is challenging, given the data-poor state of
knowledge of deep-sea ecosystem structure, process, and vulnerability. Polling and a scale …

A working group from the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds effort collaborated
with the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) to create an inventory of species …

Soundscape ecology is the study of the acoustic characteristics of habitats, and aims to
discern contributions from biological and non-biological sound sources. Acoustic …

We introduce a new approach—acoustic restoration—focusing on the applied utility of
soundscapes for restoration, recognising the rich ecological and social values they …

Marine soundscapes provide important navigational cues to dispersing larvae in search of
suitable habitat. Yet, widespread habitat loss has degraded marine soundscapes and their …

Coastal ecosystems are increasingly recognized as essential elements within coastal
defence schemes and coastal adaptation. The capacity of coastal ecosystems, like marshes …

Coastal and shelf environments support high levels of biodiversity that are vital in mediating
ecosystem processes, but they are also subject to noise associated with mounting levels of …

Anthropogenic noise in the ocean has increased substantially in recent decades, and
motorized vessels produce what is likely the most common form of underwater noise …
