Abstract
The potential for sound to impact living marine resources has become an important topic in the last decade, initiated by stranded whales associated with Navy sonar operation, heightened public concern, and at least one court case reaching all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Recently, evidence has surfaced that suggests that human-generated sound can also have detrimental effects on fish hearing, reproductive habits, and stress levels (Popper and Hastings 2009).
