Passive Acoustic Monitoring of ambient noise in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean
With increasing marine traffic, the global level of anthropogenic noise is likely to rise. This might induce further stress to already endangered marine mammals, which rely on their acoustic senses for foraging, orientation and communication. The Southern Ocean provides an important habitat for mari...

With increasing marine traffic, the global level of anthropogenic noise is likely to rise. This might induce further stress to already endangered marine mammals, which rely on their acoustic senses for foraging, orientation and communication.
