THE QUEST FOR QUIETER SEAS
2019
Overview
International concern is ramping up fast as evidence grows about problems arising from the din created by military sonar, seismic surveys, oil drilling, dredging and ship engines. [...]there's still a gap in the science. Because noise is so pervasive, it is hard to study the impact as it ramps up. [...]the blast of a seismic air gun used to map the sea floor for oil and gas can be as loud as a rocket launch or an underwater dynamite explosion; ship engines and oil drilling can reach the roar of a rock concert (see A sea of sound'). In 2011, he and others published the idea of hushing the ocean to see what the absence of noise allows. Since quieting the entire ocean is infeasible, even for a day, the idea was adapted to encompass smaller, more manageable tasks.
