Ocean Noise and Marine MammalsWeb links to information |
In order to provide unbiased information about the important issue of marine mammals and marine noise, the MARGINS Office will maintain this web page, posting links to relevant information on the issue of ocean noise and marine mammals. Please send suggestions for additional links to the MARGINS Office.
Academic seismic research should never be a threat to the survival of any species of marine mammals. At the same time, research within the MARGINS Program may yield crucial knowledge about understanding ecosystems under threat, and halting this research may therefore ultimately counteract environmental protection.
