Exposure and behavioral responses of tagged beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) to ships in the Pacific Arctic

Morgan J. Martin et al.

Summary: Arctic marine mammals, like the beluga whale, are facing challenges due to climate change and increasing anthropogenic noise from ship traffic. This study found that belugas showed changes in swim speed and behavior when ships were within 50 km, indicating their response to low-amplitude ship noise near ambient levels.

Vessel risks to marine wildlife in the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area and the eastern entrance to the Northwest Passage

William D. Halliday et al.

Summary: Climate change is causing rapid changes in the Arctic, increasing vessel traffic and concern for marine wildlife. Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area in Lancaster Sound, Nunavut, Canada, is the region most impacted by vessel traffic, with crucial information for species conservation and understanding cultural implications of marine wildlife impacts.

William D. Halliday et al.

Summary: This study examined the hypothetical vessel strike risk for bowhead whales in the Arctic, identifying areas with the highest risk in different regions and seasons. The results provide important information for focused monitoring and minimizing/mitigating the threat of vessel strikes to bowhead whales.

The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean

Carlos M. Duarte et al.

Summary: Oceans have become noisier due to human activities since the Industrial Revolution, affecting both biological and abiotic sounds. Climate change also plays a role in altering natural sounds in the oceans. The increased noise levels in the ocean pose threats to marine animals' behavior, physiology, and survival, prompting the need for management actions to mitigate the impact.

Potential exposure of beluga and bowhead whales to underwater noise from ship traffic in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas

William D. Halliday et al.

Summary: The study revealed that increased ship traffic in the Arctic is leading to higher levels of underwater noise exposure for marine life, especially beluga and bowhead whales. Proactive vessel management and effective mitigation measures are crucial in reducing the acoustic disturbance of whales.

Impact of 1, 2 and 4 °C of global warming on ship navigation in the Canadian Arctic

Lawrence R. Mudryk et al.

Summary: This study uses climate model simulations to investigate changing navigability in the Canadian Arctic for major trade routes and coastal community resupply under different levels of global warming, showing longer shipping seasons and increased shipping traffic due to sea ice loss. The projections indicate significant increases in ship-accessible season length, especially in the Beaufort region, with 100% navigation probability for part of the year above 2 degrees C of global warming on certain trade routes.

Marine Mammal Noise Exposure Criteria: Assessing the Severity of Marine Mammal Behavioral Responses to Human Noise

Brandon L. Southall et al.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in addressing the probability and severity of marine mammal behavioral responses to noise exposures since the publication of noise exposure criteria in 2007. New methodological developments have expanded the spatial, temporal, and population scales of potential disturbance studies and provided more scientific data on marine mammal responses to human noise exposure scenarios. Studies suggest that simple thresholds for noise exposure parameters and behavioral responses may lead to errors due to variability across species, individuals, contexts, and exposure scales.
