The impacts of anthropogenic ocean noise on cetaceans and implications for management
LS Weilgart - Canadian journal of zoology, 2007 - cdnsciencepub.com
Ocean noise pollution is of special concern for cetaceans, as they are highly dependent on
sound as their principal sense. Sound travels very efficiently underwater, so the potential …

A systematic review on the behavioural responses of wild marine mammals to noise: the disparity between science and policy
Noise can cause marine mammals to interrupt their feeding, alter their vocalizations, or
leave important habitat, among other behavioural responses. The current North American …
