Abstract
- The article discusses the effect of human-generated noises on the behavior of whales and other marine mammals. It mentions that biologist Roger Payne and ocean engineer Douglas Webb were the first to discover the association of low-frequency calls and the reproduction of baleen whales. It presents a comparable experiment which holds that anthropogenic sound can cause death to whales.
