Underwater noise from human activities is now widely recognised as a threat to marine life.
Nevertheless, legislation which directly addresses this source of pollution is lacking. The first …

Soundscapes have substantially changed since the industrial revolution and in response to
biodiversity loss and climate change. Human activities such as shipping, resource …

Global reductions in the underwater radiated noise levels from cargo vessels are needed to
reduce increasing cumulative impacts to marine wildlife. We use a vessel exposure …

Aquatic environments encompass the world's most extensive habitats, rich with sounds
produced by a diversity of animals. Passive acoustic monitoring is an increasingly …

Underwater sound mapping is increasingly being used as a tool for monitoring and
managing noise pollution from shipping in the marine environment. Sound maps typically …

Abstract From midnight of 26 March 2020, New Zealand became one of the first countries to
enter a strict lockdown to combat the spread of COVID‐19. The lockdown banned all non …

Underwater radiated noise from shipping is globally pervasive and can cause deleterious
effects on marine life, ranging from behavioural responses to physiological effects. Acoustic …

Introduction Copepods present the largest and most diverse group of zooplankton and their
feeding behavior can affect top-down and bottom-up processes. Thus, how efficient feeding …

Sound from small recreational boats spans a wide range of frequencies and source levels,
but the degree to which this impacts the soundscapes of shallow coastal habitats is poorly …

This paper reports trends in the input of underwater noise source energy emission from
global shipping, based on bottom-up modeling of individual ships. In terms of energy, we …
