The Ring
Underwater noise pollution from ship traffic impacts beluga behaviour far out at sea, and new research shows that increasing ship traffic in the Arctic Ocean could have enormous impact on the species.
Whales and marine traffic in Arctic
Media release
UVic marine biologist Lauren McWhinnie is lead author in a new study which warns that vessel disturbance could very likely impact the social behaviours, distribution and long-term survival of marine mammals in the Arctic. They rely on a quiet environment to communicate and forage; but Arctic sea ice is shrinking and therefore shipping traffic is increasing.
