There Is No Escape From Noise Pollution Underwater!
What seems a place that would be unaffected, the Ocean is not so quiet as it once was. Nowadays noises from commercial shipping, drilling for oil and gas and a range of other noise producers are disrupting the oceans and sea life.
Whales and dolphins are particularly affected with a growing number of cases of beached and stranded whales being linked to sound pollution. Sea creatures become scared of overwhelming high pitch sounds created from human activity. These sounds cause dolphins, whales and other such sea creatures to beach themselves.
In fact, all manner of large and admirable sea creatures are affected. Excessive noise has even been known to destroy the tissue of sharks but is also putting the already endangered orca population in extreme danger.
Orcas struggle tobcommunicate with each other due to the overpowering constant sound of human activity like cargo shipping and drilling that takes place in many parts our oceans. There is no escape from noise pollution above or below and it is a large and manifesting problem for our wildlife and ecosystems.
