Noise Pollution

Noise pollution comes from large ships and submarines’ propulsion systems and SONAR devices, which disrupt the natural sounds of the environment.

This is a massive issue as it stops marine creatures from communicating. Certain marine creatures, such as toothed whales use sounds to know what is around them and to navigate the oceans, or to ‘see’, while humpback whales sing to each other. It is their culture. They compose songs that travel around the world’s oceans, and we are disrupting that.

Noise pollution is impacting whales’ ability to navigate and is therefore causing them to get beached. Boats are using their navigation systems at the expense of marine creatures.

In conclusion we need to have more silent methods to navigate and travel the sea.
