Ocean Bio-Acoustics and Noise Pollution

Puntos clave

Noise pollution significantly impacts the marine acoustic environment, disrupting communication and behavior of marine animals.
Research since 1950 shows critical links between bio-acoustics and the survival of different marine species affected by anthropogenic noise.
The overview covers sources of noise pollution in the ocean and their implications for sound-dependent ecological interactions.
Understanding sound's biological importance can guide conservation efforts and mitigate human impacts on marine ecosystems.

Resumen

Many marine animals use sound and acoustic energy sensors to adapt to their environment. Most biological studies closely examine a particular species’ relationship to a specific stimulus. This report examines the field of biological adaptations to sound through research since 1950, assembling an overview of the biological importance of sound in the ocean. It also examines the various sources of anthropogenic noise in the sea with a focus on the potential impacts of that noise on the marine acoustic environment.
