The 3S2 experiments – studying the behavioral effects of naval sonar on northern bottlenose whales, humpback whales and minke whales
report
In order to properly consider how behavioral responses to anthropogenic noise affect marine mammals and establish safety limits for sonar operations, there is a need to establish behavioral impact criteria. In order to achieve this, knowledge about how marine mammals might respond, thresholds and durations of responses as well as the biological significance of behavioral changes are essential.
