    1. Ocean noise refers to sounds from human activities that can interfere with marine animals' ability to hear natural sounds and communicate. Many marine species rely on sound for survival functions like finding food and mates. 2. Over the last century, noise from shipping, boating, and energy exploration has increased in coastal and ocean areas. This noise can travel long distances underwater, increasing noise levels in many habitats. 3. Human activities like shipping and recreational boating generate underwater noise, as do seismic surveys and naval sonars. Waste from ships also contributes to marine pollution if not properly handled. Rising noise levels can negatively impact marine animals' communication, survival abilities, and ecosystems.

    1.

    Ocean noise refers to sounds made by human


    activities that can interfere with or obscure the ability of
    marine animals to hear natural sounds in the ocean.
    2. Many marine organisms rely on their ability to hear for their survival. Sound is

    a highly efficient means of communication underwater and is the primary way

    that many marine species gather and understand information about their

    environment. Many aquatic animals use sound to find prey, locate mates and

    offspring, avoid predators, guide their navigation and locate habitat, as well as

    to listen and communicate with each other.

    3.Over the last century, human activities such as shipping, recreational boating,

    and energy exploration have increased along our coasts, offshore, and deep

    ocean environments. Noise from these activities can travel long distances

    underwater, leading to increases and changes in ocean noise levels in many

    coastal and offshore habitats.

    4. Underwater sound is generated by a variety of natural sources, such as breaking


    waves, rain, under sea volcanoes, hydrothermal vents and marine life. It is also
    generated by a number of human-made (anthropogenic) sources, including ships,
    seismic surveys and sonars.

    5.These rising noise levels can negatively impact ocean animals and ecosystems.
    Higher noise levels can reduce the ability of animals to communicate with potential
    mates, other group members, their offspring, or feeding partners. Noise can also
    reduce an ocean animal's ability to hear environmental cues that are vital for
    survival, including those keys to avoiding predators, finding food, and navigating to
    preferred habitats. Noise has deafened fish, produced dramatically reduced catch rates,
    caused stress responses, and interfered with fish communication, schooling, and
    possibly the selection of suitable habitat. Whales have moved from their feeding and
    breeding grounds, shown stress, and foraged less efficiently due to noise.
    6.Flooding their world with intense sound interferes with these activities and
    results in serious—sometimes fatal—consequences

    7 . Much work has been done on it and measure have been taken to
    Reducing the amount of noise-generating activity and reducing the noise
    emitted from this activity are the only sure ways to lower the risk of
    disruption to marine ecosystems. Crafting policies for environmental
    pollution in general falls under two categories. CAC strategies set specific
    limits for the amount of pollution emitted, but offer no incentives to go
    beyond these limits. They also offer little flexibility on how and where to
    reduce emissions.
    .
    Human cause
    Waste and Garbage generated onboard ships which contribute to marine pollution comprise
    of chiefly plastics, dunnage and packing material, cleaning material and rags, paper
    products, food waste, remains of paints, solvents and chemicals. Proper handling of these
    waste products is critical to prevent marine pollution

    Human cause 2

    Does sonar cause noise pollution?


    Naval sonar systems work like acoustic floodlights, sending sound waves through
    ocean waters for tens or even hundreds of miles to disclose large objects in their
    path. But this activity entails deafening sound: Even one low-frequency active
    sonar loudspeaker can be as loud as a twin-engine fighter jet at takeoff.

    Human cause 3
    eismic surveys are generally considered not to be harmful or damaging to the marine
    environment. Seismic surveys are comparable to many naturally occurring ocean sound
    sources, are temporary and transitory and the vast majority are conducted at frequencies
    below the hearing range of many marine species.
