The growing threat of human-made noise in our oceans
In short: While the sea is naturally filled with the sounds of whales, shrimp, and cracking ice, human activity is creating a dangerous new layer of noise pollution that threatens marine life.
Nicola Jones, a science journalist, examines the severe danger posed to marine organisms by man-made noise, such as drilling for oil and vessel engines. The video examines the strange consequences of this noise pollution and discusses practical, straightforward methods to reduce ocean sound, which can lead to nearly immediate benefits for marine ecosystems.
