Human Commerce is Noisy Chronic Background Noise ( i.e. Commercial Shipping) Fin whale song Clark, Ellison, Southall, Hatch, Van Parijs, Frankel, Ponirakis, (2009) Marine Ecology Progress Series NO SHIPPING: GULF OF CALIFORNIA HEAVY SHIPPING: MEDITERRANEAN SEA 24 hours in two fin whale acoustic habitats

Background Noise: Long Term Trends North Pacific Ambient Noise at 40 Hz Shipping noise has increased ~3 dB/decade Modified from McDonald et al. (2006)

MASKING Figures: B. Southall, US NOAA & C. Clark, Cornell University  Frequency overlap between marine animal communication and shipping noise  Predicted reduction in a blue whale’s communication range between ~1950 & today
