Result description
Providing ecological context to anthropogenic subsea noise: Assessing listening space reductions (LSR) of marine mammals from tidal energy devices
Highlights
- Turbine-generated noise can reduce the listening space of marine fauna.
- Analysis of listening space reduction provides ecological context to subsea noise.
- Listening space reduction is influenced by season, turbine type and species.
- Variation in ambient sound affects those reductions.
- LSR method can be applied to all turbines, sites and species.
