美国自然资源保护委员会发表调查报告说,海洋生命正受到人为噪声的危害。超级油轮、海上石油钻探和新型军用声纳装置带来的噪声污染扰乱了海洋生命的通信系统,迫使它们改变迁徙路线和放弃繁殖后代的场所。 这份报告说,由于人类活动造成的水下噪声污染能改变海洋生命的栖息地,因此人们必须认真研究这种噪声究竟是怎样影响海洋生命的,从而对海洋生命采取更有力的保护措施。 According to a survey released by the Natural Resources Defense Council, marine life is being endangered by man-made noise. Noise pollution from supertankers, offshore oil drilling and new military sonar devices disrupted communications systems for marine life, forcing them to alter their migration routes and relinquish space for their offspring. The report said that as underwater noise pollution caused by human activities can change the habitat of marine life, one must carefully study how the noise affects marine life and thus take stronger protective measures against marine life.
