Asessing the Impact of Underwater sounds on fishes and other forms of Marine life
نویسنده
چکیده
effects of sound on Aquatic life Current expansion of offshore industrial activities has led to concern about the impact of man-made sounds upon marine animals (Southall et al., 2007; Hastings, 2008; Popper and Hawkins, 2012, 2014). Offshore oil and gas exploration and developments, wind farm construction and operations, other renewable energy sources, dredging, construction activities, naval sonars, and increases in commercial shipping are all contributing to increased noise in the sea.
