Abstract
The management and conservation of the world’s oceans require synthesis of spatial data on the distribution and intensity of human activities and their impact on marine ecosystems. There are many detrimental influences at sea; among them, man-made noise is recognized as being a serious threat to aquatic life. To assess the impact, one must first determine the sound levels received by the marine life.
