NOAA acknowledges that offshore wind seismic survey activity correlates with whale deaths.
“the correlation was not surprising…”
Widely used marine seismic survey air gun operations negatively impact zooplankton –McCauley, R.D., et al, Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017.
Airguns used for seismic surveys kill a greater number of zooplankton and over a larger area than previously recognized.
Noise Pollution: The soundscape of the anthropocene ocean – Duarte et al., Science, 2021.
Human generated noise is a lethal type of pollution for marine species. It causes stress, alters reproductive abilities, and even death.
Noise pollution is a menace to humanity - and a deadly threat to animals
“A single shot from a seismic survey air-gun can kill zooplankton– the foundation of the marine food chain-up to a mile away from the detonation site…”
Microplastics in marine mammal blubber, melon, and other tissues: Evidence of translocation
“These findings suggest some proportion of ingested microplastics translocate throughout marine mammal bodies posing an exposure risk to both marine mammals and people. “
