First nation leads effort to monitor orca-threatening ship noise Underwater noise is a serious threat to endangered Southern Resident killer whales, as ship and ferry traffic intensifies through some of the busiest waters off Vancouver Island.

First Nations have always protected and respected nature. 🌊 On the West Coast, hydrophones + an autonomous vessel are monitoring ship noise near the Gulf Islands to protect whales & marine life.

Continuous underwater noise - such as from shipping - puts pressure on small cetaceans. https://www.ascobans.org/en/meeting/ac29

👂 Cetaceans rely on sound to communicate, navigate, to find food. Continuous #underwaternoise – such as from shipping and ferry traffic – can cause disturbance and displacement.

🧾 The ASCOBANS AC will review countries' reports & new information on the topic at its 29th meeting on 16-18 Sept 2025.

The battle to quiet the sea: Can the shipping industry turn down the volume? The ocean has never been silent – waves crashing, seabirds calling, whales singing across vast distances. But in recent decades, a new kind of noise has taken hold: the relentless hum of ships. For many marine species, this growing wall of sound is more than a nuisance – it’s a threat to their survival.

[5/5] À l’approche de l’Unoc 3 à Nice, la France peut jouer un rôle décisif. Une réglementation sur la vitesse permettrait de réduire durablement les impacts du transport maritime sur l’océan, au bénéfice du climat et des écosystèmes. #geography #maritimetransport #CO2emissions #underwaternoise

Introduction to Sound Propagation Under Water Sound propagation under water is a complex process. Sound does not propagate along straight-line transmission paths. Rather, it reflects, refracts, and diffracts. It scatters off rough surfaces (such…

I just stumbled across this [https://buff.ly/3NF3Lcg] surprisingly comprehensive introduction to underwater sound propagation in an animal behavior text.

Happy to see a description of normal modes being served to biologists. There are far too few attempts at this. #bioacoustics #underwaternoise
