    The document discusses how sound is important for marine life to communicate, find food and mates, and navigate underwater. It explains that human activities are increasing noise in the oceans, which can negatively impact marine animals' physiology, behavior, reproduction and survival. Examples are given of different types of noise from human sources like ships, naval sonar, seismic airguns, and how far the sounds can carry underwater.

    Typing Test (DEST) Text
    Many marine organisms rely on their ability to hear for their survival. Sound is a
    highly efficient means of communication underwater and is the primary way that many
    marine species gather and understand information about their environment. Many
    aquatic animals use sound to find prey locate mates and offspring avoid predators
    guide their navigation and locate habitat as well as to listen and communicate with
    each other. Oceans are full of sound. Waves, earthquakes and icebergs - all
    contribute to the underwater soundscape. But so do human activities and this can be
    a problem for marine life as it can seriously affect their physiology behaviour,
    reproduction and even survival. Being able to produce and detect sound in an
    environment where light penetrates only a few hundred metres is crucial for animals
    to communicate, feed, avoid predators and navigate vast underwater habitats. Large
    whales generate low frequency communication calls that can travel thousands of
    kilometres. While the snapping shrimp, native to the western Atlantic, can produce
    a loud snapping sound capable of stunning and killing its prey. The noise generated
    by humans changes the natural acoustic environment of our oceans and our capacity
    to produce it is increasing. Noise is often the unintentional by product of
    transport infrastructure development and industry. Yet noise can also be produced
    deliberately. Many navies use sonar system to detect ships and submarines while
    geologists survey the seabed for oil and gas using seismic airguns. The noise
    produced by an airgun can exceed 200 decibels louder than a gunshot at a range of
    one metre. Sound travels further and four times faster in water than in air at a
    speed of almost 1500 metres per second. The noise produced by humans can therefore
    spread considerable distances underwater. These sounds can be relatively constant
    such as the noise produced by the engine of a ship and propeller or sudden and
    acute in the case of naval sonar and seismic airguns.
