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 …

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 …

There are substantial knowledge gaps regarding both the bioacoustics and the responses of
animals to sounds associated with pre-construction, construction, and operations of offshore …

Fishes obtain substantial information about their environment by listening to the sounds
around them. Indeed, because sound propagates rapidly and over great distances in water …

Noise produced by human activities has increased in the oceans over the last decades.
