Many organisms depend on sound for communication, predator/prey detection and
navigation. The acoustic environment can therefore play an important role in ecosystem …

In 2016, the world shipping fleet grew by 3.5%. Even if the annual growth rate remains at its
lowest since 2013, the global situation is still in overcapacity (UNCTAD 2016). Ninety …

The world is full of sounds that are shared by humans and many other organisms, but little is
known about the role and importance of the acoustic context to guide evolutionary …

Although not originally developed for research use, the Automatic Identification System (AIS)
enables its data to be used in research. The present paper provides a structured overview of …

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

During 2017, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and
Observation program carried out a two-month voluntary vessel slowdown trial to determine …

The potential impacts of underwater noise on marine mammals are widely recognised, but
uncertainty over variability in baseline noise levels often constrains efforts to manage these …

A voluntary commercial vessel slowdown trial was conducted through 16 nm of shipping
lanes overlapping critical habitat of at-risk southern resident killer whales (SRKW) in the …

Automatic identification system (AIS) is becoming increasingly popular with marine vessels
providing accessible, up-to-date information on vessel activity in the marine environment …

Reducing speeds across shipping fleets has been shown to make a substantial contribution
to effective short term measures for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, working …
