Whales and dolphins rely on sound much as we rely on sight, navigating, exploring finding prey and communicating using sound. Excessive levels of noise caused by shipping and boat traffic, military activities or from oil and gas exploration can lead to behavior changes in whales and dolphins, physical damage and even death.
