Marine dredging is an excavation activity carried out worldwide by many industries. Concern
about the impact dredging has on marine life, including marine mammals (cetaceans …

Anthropogenic (man-made) sound has the potential to harm marine biota. Increasing
concerns about these effects have led to regulation and mitigation, despite there being few …

Assessments of the impact of offshore energy developments are constrained because it is
not known whether fine-scale behavioural responses to noise lead to broader-scale …

Offshore windfarm developments are expanding, requiring assessment and mitigation of
impacts on protected species. Typically, assessments of impacts on marine mammals have …

Estimating impacts of offshore windfarm construction on marine mammals requires data on
displacement in relation to different noise levels and sources. Using echolocation detectors …

Anthropogenic underwater noise impacts have become a hot topic for environmental
managers and regulators in Europe and beyond. Sounds from human activity at sea include …

Marine ambient sound levels have risen due to noisy human activities, such as shipping,
fishing, seismic surveys and piling for windfarms. Marine mammals and fishes are two …

Anthropogenic noise is a common but evolutionarily recent influence on communicating
animals and evidence is accumulating of its adverse impacts on human health, therefore it …

With increasing numbers of offshore structures being installed and decommissioned, a
better understanding of their effect on marine predators is timely. There is some evidence …

Oceanic acoustic environments are dynamic, shaped by the spatiotemporal variability in
transmission losses and sound propagation pathways of natural and human-derived noise …
