Noise exposure from commercial shipping for the southern resident killer whale population
Simone Cominelli,Rodolphe Devillers,Harald Yurk,Alexander O. MacGillivray,Lauren McWhinnie,Rosaline Canessa +5 more
TL;DR: Assessment of vessel-noise exposure levels for Southern Resident Killer Whales in the Salish Sea found Ferries, Tugboats, Vehicle Carriers, Recreational Vessels, Containers, and Bulkers showed high levels of exposure and management actions aiming at reducing SRKW noise exposure should target the abovementioned categories.

TL;DR: The findings further confirm the need for an integrated approach foreseeing both, large scale surveys and yearly monitoring at different spatial scales to correct and interpret the basin wide abundance estimates, and to correlate spatial and temporal trends with the ecological and anthropogenic drivers.

Fin whale seasonal trends in the Pelagos Sanctuary, Mediterranean Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the density variability of the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Pelagos Sanctuary and defined an unbiased index to analyze the temporal and spatial variability of fin whale density.

Geovisualization tools to inform the management of vessel noise in support of species' conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for the analysis of species' exposure to noise from shipping, focusing on exposure hotspot mapping, on the computation of probabilistic levels of exposure, and on the identification of shipping routes that minimize exposure levels for Cetacean species.

A framework to estimate the risk of noise exposure from vessels for endangered cetacean species
Simone Cominelli
- 01 Oct 2018
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework for assessing and visualizing exposure of the Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) population to vessels' noise and identified six vessel classes as being the main contributors to noise exposure for SRKW.
