Research on ambient noise and dolphins has shown that human-made noise can negatively impact dolphins in a number of ways:

  • Dolphins change their vocals and they will increase the duration and loudness of their whistles to compensate for noise
  • Dolphins change their body language
  • Dolphins are less successful at coordinating tasks when exposed to noise.
  • Dolphins move to a new area to avoid noise.
  • Noise pollution in the ocean is a growing problem. Human activities such as shipping, drilling, and underwater pile driving are significant sources of ocean noise.
