Importance of sound & impact of noise Sound vital for biologically important functions Mating/spawning Foraging Navigation Territorial defense Impact of noise Masking Behavioral Physiological Images of animals Physiological impact: hearing impact, stress Behavioral: disruption of foraging, displacement, reduction of calling

Noise monitoring strategies How well can we describe ocean noise levels? NOAA Ocean Noise Strategy Addressing ocean noise impacts Guide science and management actions EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive Mandates ocean noise monitoring NOAA: data archive, monitoring network, mapping of noise (2016) EU MSFD (adopted in 2008): protection of marine environment and achieving “good environmental status”; noise guidelines: underwater noise energy that does not adversely affect the marine environment Monitoring: 1/3 octave bands 63 and 125 Hz Source: NOAA

Noise in Southern California Pacific Noise in Southern California W of San Nicolas Island: noise increase ~3 dB/decade since 60’s Shipping Site ‘open’ to N Pacific McDonald et al. 2006

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Summer 2009 Decrease in shipping noise over this time: great recession! Storminess in July: short time period Sep: start of fin whales

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Fall – Winter Increased levels at few 100 Hz range: more storms/wind

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Fall – Winter Peaks for fin whales (into fall)

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Fall – Winter Peaks for blue whales (late summer

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Fall – Winter Peaks for humpbacks

Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Pacific Seasonal noise changes: 2009-10 Spring 2010 Shipping same as fall/winter, fins going away; leftover fish

Long-term trends at San Nicolas Pacific Long-term trends at San Nicolas Noise continued to decrease! Only summer data in 2014 & 15 2009: July-Dec; 2010: Jan-Nov 2014: Jul & Aug 2015: Jun-Sept McDonald et al. 2006

Noise in shallow waters Pacific Noise in shallow waters Navy data from 50’s & 60’s Local ships: noise increase ~5-10 dB McDonald et al. 2008

Pacific Noise across SOCAL a ships no ships

central & western Pacific Ladd: June 2009 Others: June 2010

noise across central & western Pacific Mean difference: @ 50 Hz: 1.5 dB Ladd: only partial data Southern exposure for all but Ladd Širović et al. 2013

Quiet if compared to the eastern Pacific West of San Nicolas Island, CA Jan 2010 McDonald et al. 2006 Širović et al. 2013

Other areas – North Pacific Gulf of Alaska Off Washington state a I don’t have historic location/data – exact location is very important; depth and lat, long

Long term noise trends at Bermuda Atlantic Long term noise trends at Bermuda 1966 vs 2013-14 Bermuda HARP Hard to get a baseline Hildebrand 2009

Long term noise trends at Bermuda Atlantic Long term noise trends at Bermuda Max increase ~0.5 dB/decade Širović et al. 2016
