The ocean is a naturally noisy place full of singing whales, grunting fish, snapping shrimp, cracking ice, wind and rain. But human-made sounds — from ship engines to oil drilling — have become an acute threat to marine life, says science journalist Nicola Jones. Watch (and listen) as she discusses the strange things that happen to underwater creatures in the face of ocean noise pollution — and shares straightforward ways we can dial down the sound to see almost immediate impacts.

Short answer: CORONA
Very much informative.
This is the best kind of science! Fantastic presentation!
I hate that innocent creatures suffer at the hands of our greed.
i wonder what the fish are doing right now
Probably chilling staring at each other while pooping.
By using this word chill down
Well We all should have 1 month of of stay home every year 🙂
Fascinating presentation, it never crossed my mind that there could be impactful sound pollution in the ocean, of all places. Well let’s hope oil dependency dwindles further and puts an end to oil drilling within these few decades.
I would say the Coronavirus did that… just fine.
Your brilliant!
Earth needs Brilliant
Well, NOW we know who rated the Pacific ocean *3 stars* on Google Maps
Just tell the ocean to stfu and stop its nonsense. Done.
