In the scientific community, it is now well recognized that anthropogenic noise poses serious threats to marine mammals. The main noise sources come from large commercial vessels such as cargo ships, tankers, cruise ships and ferries to small-size watercrafts such as motorized boats, fishing vessels and tugboats. Propeller cavitation, hull vibration and onboard machinery are […]

The Sea of Marmara, a near-enclosed basin characterized by its natural permanent stratification, stands as a recognized biological corridor connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Seas. Surrounded by the densely […]
