Beyond Climate: Full Pollution Fight

Noise pollution poses a significant and often overlooked threat to ocean ecosystems, impacting marine life that relies on sound for essential functions like communication and navigation. The incessant noise from ships, sonar, and seismic surveys disorients species such as whales and dolphins, hindering their ability to find food and mates. Prolonged exposure can lead to hearing damage and increased stress. Addressing this issue through the adoption of quieter technologies and better management practices is crucial for protecting the ocean's soundscape and its inhabitants.
