Summary
| Description |
Why is noise such a big deal in the ocean? Underwater, sound travels much further than light or smell, making it a crucial way for many marine animals to understand the world around them. Whales, like these right whales, use sound to communicate during important activities, like keeping mothers and nursing calves together, foraging in groups, establishing mates and migrating. But in recent decades, human activities like shipping and oil exploration have made the ocean a much noisier place -- which can spell trouble for many marine animals.
