Many marine species rely on sound to navigate, find prey, avoid predators and communicate with each other. But these behaviors can be disrupted by human-caused noise from sources such as commercial shipping, seismic surveys, oil exploration and military sonar. For many marine mammals, ocean noise (also known as noise pollution) can disturb feeding, resting and breeding behaviors, and can cause hearing loss, physical injury and chronic stress.
