| Abstract | Sound is an inevitable element of every human activity in the oceans. Some, like exploration and military sonar exercises, produce impulse sounds that are intense but infrequent; others, like shipping, generate nonimpulsive, less intense, but continuous noise. A recent National Research Council review (2003) found that the ocean's acoustic budget has increased by 3 dB, i.e., doubled, per decade in the last half century. In effect, in some ocean areas, and particularly along our fragile coasts, we are creating an environment akin to that of human workplaces. |
