Underwater Noise from Arctic Shipping: Impacts, Regulations and Recommendations
Marine mammals, including whales, walrus, and seals, rely heavily on sounds for survival. The Arctic soundscape has long been shaped by their clicks and calls. The rapid loss of summer sea ice that's been observed in recent years is opening this once largely inaccessible region to ship traffic....
