Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

ABSTRACT 1 Since the last thorough review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on
cetaceans in 1995, a substantial number of research reports has been published and our …

One of the most widely recognized effects of intense noise exposure is a noise-induced
threshold shift—an elevation of hearing thresholds following cessation of the noise. Over the …

The demand for renewable energy has led to construction of offshore wind farms with high-
power turbines, and many more wind farms are being planned for the shallow waters of the …

Underwater noise of whale‐watching boats was recorded in the popular killer whale‐
watching region of southern British Columbia and northwestern Washington State. A …

This review highlights significant gaps in our knowledge of the effects of seismic air gun
noise on marine mammals. Although the characteristics of the seismic signal at different …

Attention has been drawn to the subject of how ocean noise affects marine mammals by a
series of marine mammal strandings, lawsuits, and legislative hearings, and most recently …

Since the beginning of the planning and installation of offshore wind farms, the possible
impacts on marine mammals and fish have been discussed intensively within the public and …

A behavioral response paradigm was used to measure masked underwater hearing
thresholds in a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and a white whale (Delphinapterus …

Operational underwater noise emitted at 8 ms-1 by a 550 kW WindWorld wind-turbine was
recorded from the sea and modified to simulate a 2 MW wind-turbine. The sound was …
