Video Transcription:
Noise pollution is an invisible interference, especially to marine wildlife living in the oceans, now filled with sounds from ships, oil drills, sonar devices, and seismic tests. Whales and dolphins, 2 species that rely on echolocation are left unable to communicate, navigate, feed, and find mates effectively. Like echolocation, sonar works by releasing sound pulses and measuring their reflected echo. These sonar waves can be as loud as 235 decibels and can cause mass chaos for whales by altering their feeding patterns and travel routes. Redesigning shipping routes to avoid densely populated areas of the ocean is a cost-effective solution, as well as using lower-intensity seismic vibrations for sonar devices.
