Comments Off on Quieter Oceans Offer a Rare Chance to Listen WOODS HOLE, Massachusetts, April 21, 2021 (ENS) – Coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions and economic slowdowns slammed the brakes on human activities in the oceans starting last spring and ongoing. Noise levels are down as cargo ships, cruise ships, and seafloor exploration vessels have slowed or stopped their operations. The relative silence creates a unique moment for scientists to begin a time-series study of the impacts of human sounds on marine life they have planned for years. Using hydrophones, microphones that detect s...

BBC News By Victoria Gill image copyrightAlamy image captionResearchers say evidence of the harm ocean noise pollution can do has been building for decades Ocean scientists around the world are studying the "unique moment" of quiet created by the pandemic. The researchers have called their vast listening experiment: The year of the quiet ocean. "Lockdown slowed global shipping on a scale that would otherwise be impossible," explained Prof Peter Tyack from the University of St Andrews. The scientists plan to listen to the ocean soundscape before, during and after lockdown. They have identi...

Global network to eavesdrop on oceans quieted by Covid Issued on: 08/04/2021 - 17:25 Travel and economic downturns due to Covid-19 has seen falls in maritime traffic, sea floor exploration and other human interference, creating "a unique moment" to gather data on the oceans' sonic landscape CLEMENT MAHOUDEAU AFP/File 3 min Paris (AFP) Scientists will take advantage of an unprecedented fall in shipping activity to listen in to the world's oceans and study how manmade noise affects marine ecosystems, the project organisers said Thursday. Travel and e...

SHARE The relative silence caused by the coronavirus pandemic is being used by researchers to build a listening network that could eventually create the first map of the world's oceans. On Thursday, marine biologists unveiled a listening network to help map the oceans and study how human behaviour and noise affect marine life. As the pandemic gripped the world’s land masses, human noise in the oceans was largely silenced, with shipping, exploration and leisure operations curtailed or stopped. Scientists have linked listening posts, called hydrophones, around the globe so that they can pi...
