Sea Creatures Endangered By Noisy Oceans

"Noisy oceans threaten sea life" from BBC News reports that all creatures great and small can't get away from urban noise - even in the oceans' depths!

Experts say the noises sea creatures use to communicate are being drowned out by noises from commercial shipping, new military sonar and climate change.

They become disoriented, cannot find mates or food and behave differently, scientists say.

Suggestions to cut noise include installing quieter engines.

The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, which representatives from 100 countries are attending, is considering issuing a resolution that would oblige countries to reduce sound pollution.
