E34: Whales and dolphins living in an ocean of noise
 Whales-online speaks with Dr Lindy Weilgart, Research Associate at Dalhousie University Department of Biology. Lindy explains how the sources of human generated noise – from shipping, seismic and sonar – generate a range of impacts from chronic noise which increases stress levels and impacts on health through to acute impacts where animals can strand or drown at sea. Lindy also indicates there are solutions – from modifying activities or technology to tune down the noise or avoiding areas that are sensitive to whales and dolphins.
