Marine construction and shipping are making the oceans noisier and noisier. A study now shows that far more animal species are affected by this noise in their behaviour.
Using underwater microphones, AWI researchers have succeeded in collecting and analysing whale observation data from the Weddell Sea over a period of nine years.
