Underwater noise pollution interferes with communication, navigation, mating, feeding, and overall behaviour of marine species, which can lead to stress, displacement, injury, and even death. Find out more.

🪸 When we hear the word “ocean,” we often think of the teeming marine life under the surface. 🐳 We may not immediately think of seabirds as marine animals – but they are every bit as ocean-dwelling as sea turtles. With bodies specialized for life on the waves, they spend far more of their lives at sea than on land. 🌊 The glimpses we get of seabirds and the rare insight we have into their lives reveal secrets — and sound alarms — about the most poorly understood habitats on the planet: oceans. For World Oceans Day, discover the deep connection between birds and oceans! 🔗 https://bit.ly/4aNxARi 🤿Dive in and learn how humans relate to seabirds, what threats seabirds face today, and how YOU can make the world’s oceans safer places for birds. #Seabirds #BirdConservation #OceanHealth #PlasticPollution #ClimateChange #BirdCallsBlog #WorldOceansDay

Noise generated by ships can be disruptive to marine life - especially whales and dolphins, which rely on sound to navigate, hunt, and communicate. The story of an iconic population of orcas exemplifies the growing threat of underwater noise pollution: https://lnkd.in/ee-gun5Z

This is such a great & innovative project with a lot of hard work from a passionate team. Trialling solutions to ensure our forests (including understorey) have the best chance at adaptation to escalating fires and climate uncertainty. Some of our experiments are trying to answer key questions: How can we best restore ecosystem function in difficult terrain and dangerous post-fire condition? How can we be ready to respond to facilitate the best restoration outcomes? How do we ensure that what we sow today will survive in a fast-changing climate?
The impacts of climate change and natural disasters are reaching remote and challenging landscapes – and so can our restoration efforts! In partnership with AirSeed Technologies and Minderoo Foundation, we’re using drones to trial new ways to replant native vegetation at scale and restore important habitat in hard to access places.

Sea levels are going to rise for the rest of our lives. A new NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration tool helps us visualize the risk. I spoke with CBS about what it means in NYC. https://lnkd.in/eVTRvNHN
Parts of NYC could be underwater by 2100. Map shows areas that are most at risk.

A hydrophone is an underwater device that detects and records ocean sounds from all directions. People often think that the underwater world is silent. In fact, numerous marine organisms use sound for communication, reproduction, and to seek prey. (Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)) This device is crucial to our marine work in Semporna, on the southeast coast of Sabah. SIP began using hydrophones in 2014, in collaboration with acoustic experts from the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Further development of this technology was spearheaded by Stop Fish Bombing Malaysia, who are working with SIP and WWF-Malaysia on the EU-funded programme, Community Action for Fish-Bomb-Free Semporna Seas. How does this help? Hydrophones provide crucial information on destructive fishing, enabling us to pinpoint locations where it is occurring and monitor trends. They act as deterrents and provide a means of actively intercepting fish bombers and preventing further damage.
