The Impact of Anthropogenic Noise on Marine Life
The increase in ship traffic has led to a rise in anthropogenic noise in oceans, affecting marine mammals like killer whales and humpback whales. The noise interferes with their ecolocation, communication, and daily activities such as finding food and migrating. This disturbance has contributed to a decline in their populations.
