Book excerpt: Is noise the most neglected green issue of our age? This book argues compellingly that it is, and tells you all you need to know about noise as a social, cultural, environmental and health issue. Across the world, more people are disturbed by noise in their day-today lives than by any other pollutant on Earth. From the shanty towns of Mumbai to the smart boulevards of Paris, noise is a problem. It is damaging people's health, costing billions, and threatening the world's natural sound systems in the same way that climate change is altering its eco-systems. Drawing on evidence from all over the world, this book showcases policies and strategies that have worked to decrease noise pollution, and offers lessons for policymakers and environmental health professionals, campaigners and any individual affected by noise. Written by a renowned noise campaigner and experts in law and health, this book tells you all you need to know about noise as a social, cultural and environmental issue and how we can act to build a more peaceful world.

Download or read book Biosonar written by Annemarie Surlykke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two groups of animals, bats and odontocetes (toothed whales), have independently developed the ability to orient and detect prey by biosonar (echolocation). This active mechanism of orientation allows these animals to operate under low light conditions. Biosonar is a conceptual overview of what is known about biosonar in bats and odontocetes. Chapters are written by bat and odontocetes experts, resulting in collaborations that not only examine data on both animals, but also compare and contrast mechanisms. This book provides a unique insight that will help improve our understanding of biosonar in both animal groups.

Download or read book Stressors in the Marine Environment written by Martin Solan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multitude of direct and indirect human influences have significantly altered the environmental conditions, composition, and diversity of marine communities. However, understanding and predicting the combined impacts of single and multiple stressors is particularly challenging because observed ecological feedbacks are underpinned by a number of physiological and behavioural responses that reflect stressor type, severity, and timing. Furthermore, integration between the traditional domains of physiology and ecology tends to be fragmented and focused towards the effects of a specific stressor or set of circumstances. This novel volume summarises the latest research in the physiological and ecological responses of marine species to a comprehensive range of marine stressors, including chemical and noise pollution, ocean acidification, hypoxia, UV radiation, thermal and salinity stress before providing a perspective on future outcomes for some of the most pressing environmental issues facing society today. Stressors in the Marine Environment synthesises the combined expertise of a range of international researchers, providing a truly interdisciplinary and accessible summary of the field. It is essential reading for graduate students as well as professional researchers in environmental physiology, ecology, marine biology, conservation biology, and marine resource management. It will also be of particular relevance and use to the regulatory agencies and authorities tasked with managing the marine environment, including social scientists and environmental economists.

Download or read book Harbour Porpoise Response to the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm Ltd. (BOWL) Construction in the Moray Firth, NE Scotland written by Saliza Awang Bono and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potential effects of wind farms on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) have been well studied in the southern North Sea. However, there is uncertainty over the impacts on porpoises when in different habitats or when exposed to different construction methods. Construction of the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm (BOWL) site in the North East of Scotland began on 2nd April 2017. From April to December 2017 344 piles were driven into the seabed as foundations for 84 turbine jackets and two Offshore Tranformer Modules. This study aims to assess the responses of harbour porpoises to pile driving in the Moray Firth for the first phase of construction (April to May 2017). A Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) monitoring programme was designed using deployments of passive acoustic monitoring (C-PODs) in two 25km x 25km blocks, one impact and one control block. Changes in harbour porpoise occurrence (Detection Positive Hours, DPH) were investigated during this phase. Results showed that porpoise detections were reduced by 66.7% in the impact block and 25.7% in the control block between the 'before' and 'during' periods. There was a significant difference between the impact and control block, with a higher overall detection of porpoises in the control block throughout the first phase of construction. Baseline data from previous years show that seasonal trends also dominated porpoise occurrence, even during pile driving. At a finer temporal scale, on the first day of piling the occurrence of harbour porpoises increased as distance from the piling source increased. This suggests that harbour porpoises may have displayed a short-term displacement response close to the construction site. Further studies suggest that harbour porpoise did respond to vessels in the construction site. Thus, results highlight the importance of monitoring harbour porpoises during the increasing number of offshore developments in British Waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the health of the world’s oceans threatened as never before, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play a vitally important role in protecting marine and coastal habitats. Management of Marine Protected Areas: A Network Perspective draws on the results of a major EU-sponsored research project related to the establishment of networks of MPAs in the Mediterranean and Black Seas that transpired from February 2011 to January 2016. Featuring contributions by leading university- and national research institute-based scientists, chapters utilize the latest research data and developments in marine conservation policy to explore issues related to ways in which networks of MPAs may amplify the effectiveness and conservation benefits of individual areas within them. Topics addressed include the broader socio-economic impacts of MPAs in the Mediterranean and Black Seas; the use of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to resolve conflicts between marine resource use and protection; special protection measures under the EU’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD); ecological value assessments in the Black Sea; the Ecosystem Approach (EA) for managing marine ecosystems; MPAs along Turkey’s Black Sea coast; MPAs and offshore wind farms; and managing and monitoring MPA networks within and between the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Timely and important, Management of Marine Protected Areas: A Network Perspective offers invaluable insights into the role of MPAs in preserving the welfare and long-term viability of our world’s oceans.
