Abstract: TilapiaHuman activities introduce noise, i.e. unwanted sound, into the marine environment either intentionally for a specific purpose (e.g., seismic surveys) or unintentionally as a by-product of their activities (e.g., shipping or construction). Anthropogenic noise can be broadly split into two main types: impulsive and continuous. The first type includes sounds from offshore construction (construction of cables and pipelines, construction of offshore wind farms, bridges and oil platforms, explosives, pile driving), sonars (naval-military sonars, echosounders - fisheries sonars), seismic survey (airgun arrays operation for oil and gas exploration) and acoustic deterrent and harassment devices.
