Examining the Impact of Sound on Marine Life
Season 7
Episode 2
As ocean industrialization increases underwater noise from shipping, naval activity, and energy development, scientists are racing to understand how sound affects marine life. Off Catalina Island, marine mammal experts are gathering new data on how small whales and dolphins respond to Navy underwater exercises—research that could shape how sound beneath the waves is managed to reduce harm.
