Why the rising volume of our oceans threatens marine life
In short: While the ocean is naturally filled with the sounds of whales and cracking ice, human activity is creating an acute threat. Science journalist Nicola Jones explores the impact of noise pollution and how we can reduce it.
The video examines how man-made sounds, ranging from ship engines to oil drilling, disrupt underwater ecosystems. Jones discusses the strange consequences of this noise pollution for marine creatures and highlights straightforward methods to lower sound levels, which could lead to almost immediate benefits for ocean life.
