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 …

Marine seismic surveys produce high intensity, low-frequency impulsive sounds at regular
intervals, with most sound produced between 10 and 300 Hz. Offshore seismic surveys have …

This paper considers the importance of particle motion to fishes and invertebrates and the
steps that need to be taken to improve knowledge of its effects. It is aimed at scientists …

Increasing attention is being paid to the ecological consequences of underwater noise
generated by human activities such as shipping and maritime industries including, but not …

Marine noise pollution (MNP) can cause a multitude of impacts on many organisms, but
information is often scattered and general outcomes difficult to assess. We have reviewed …

This paper reviews the nature of substrate vibration within aquatic environments where
seismic interface waves may travel along the surface of the substrate, generating high levels …

Drill-blast method is one of the important methods in the current subsea tunnel excavation
construction. Controlling the vibration effect during blasting construction and its impact on …

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 …

Noise exposure has reached an alarming degree over the years because of rapid growth in
the industry, transportation, and urbanization. Therefore, it is a dire need to provide …

Anthropogenic activities directly contacting the seabed, such as drilling and pile-driving,
produce a significant vibration likely to impact benthic invertebrates. As with terrestrial …
