Soon, the entire world will be able to listen live to the unique Arctic underwater sounds in Greenland's Disko Bay: Starting next spring, an acoustic monitoring station near Qeqertarsuaq will record the sounds of marine mammals.
Ship noise, seismic exploration, deep-sea mining, and sonar affect the development, health, and behavior of marine invertebrates.
Thanks to the corona-related restrictions, marine life currently is better able to communicate with each other, hunt more effectively and orientate themselves in a easier way.
