Estimating impacts of offshore windfarm construction on marine mammals requires data on
displacement in relation to different noise levels and sources. Using echolocation detectors …

Cetaceans have elicited the attention of researchers in recent decades due to their
importance to the ecosystem and their economic values. They use sound for communication …

Ocean noise varies spatially and temporally and is driven by natural and anthropogenic
processes. Increased ambient noise levels can cause signal masking and communication …

The inshore, continental shelf waters of British Columbia (BC), Canada are busy with ship
traffic. South coast waters are heavily trafficked by ships using the ports of Vancouver and …

Managing the impacts of vessel noise on marine fauna requires identifying vessel numbers,
movement, behaviour, and acoustic signatures. However, coastal and inland waters are …

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 …

Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for non-intrusive monitoring of marine
environments, also allowing the assessment of underwater noise that can negatively affect …

After the European Environmental Noise Directive prescribed noise maps and action plans,
wide scientific literature and a consistent number of mitigation strategies emerged for road …

Abstract AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a widely used source of data to spatially
and temporally characterize marine vessel traffic and to subsequently estimate the direct …

Species distribution maps can provide important information to focus conservation efforts
and enable spatial management of human activities. Two sympatric marine predators, grey …
