Lärm im Meer – der unterschätzte Störfaktor

Airgunsignale stören Wale über weite Distanzen

Airguns oder Luftpulser können noch in 2.000 Kilometer Entfernung Meeressäuger stören. Das zeigt eine neue Studie des Umweltbundesamtes. Der Störeffekt kann sowohl die Physis als auch die Psyche der Tiere verschlechtern. Maria Krautzberger, Präsidentin des UBA: „Der Lärm in den Meeren nimmt zu und wird voraussichtlich weiter zunehmen.
