Humanity's Cacophony Is Silencing the Natural Songs of the Sea
- "Today humankind is unleashing an acoustic onslaught on the seas. The collective cacophony of millions of noisy ships and boats, the shattering blasts of airguns used in seismic surveys, the deafening din from unrestricted use of high intensity naval sonar and other man-made sounds have begun to silence the natural songs of the sea." - excerpt from the Foreword of the International Fund for Animal Welfare's (IFAW) report, Ocean Noise: Turn It Down: A Report on Ocean Noise Pollution
