Shipping is the dominant marine anthropogenic noise source in the world's oceans, yet we
know little about vessel encounter rates, exposure levels and behavioural reactions for …

Shipping is the most pervasive source of marine noise pollution globally, yet its impact on
sensitive fauna remains unclear. We tracked 10 harbour porpoises for 5–10 days to …

Cetaceans rely critically on sound for navigation, foraging and communication and are
therefore potentially affected by increasing noise levels from human activities at sea …

Growing ship traffic worldwide has led to increased vessel noise with possible negative
impacts on marine life. Most research has focused on low frequency components of ship …

While the auditory systems of cetaceans have evolved to cope with fluctuating noise levels
from natural sources, there is a growing concern that underwater noise from some …

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 …

Noise from shipping activity in North Atlantic coastal waters has been steadily increasing
and is an area of growing conservation concern, as it has the potential to disrupt the …

The number of marine watercraft is on the rise—from private boats in coastal areas to
commercial ships crossing oceans. A concomitant increase in underwater noise has been …

Recreational boating is an increasing activity in coastal areas and its spatiotemporal overlap
with key habitats of marine species pose a risk for negative noise impacts. Yet, recreational …

Baleen whales (Mysticeti) communicate using low-frequency acoustic signals. These long-
wavelength sounds can be detected over hundreds of kilometres, potentially allowing …
