Underwater noise in the Arctic – How can we reduce its impacts as shipping traffic grows?
The effects of climate change and human activities are being felt everywhere, both above and below the surface of our oceans. In the Arctic, the ocean is home to abundant wildlife that Inuit communities rely on, including narwhal, beluga, and other marine mammals. Many of these species rely on sound to navigate, communicate and find food. But underwater noise generated from human activity can interfere with this vital behavior, causing stress and disorientation for marine life – including endangered whales.
