Noise
"Large numbers of blue whales were killed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with 30,000 being taken in the 1930-1931 whaling season alone. Numbers remain low today with an estimated population in the 10’s of thousands worldwide.
"The effect of acoustic disturbances from shipping, the oil industry and other human sources must be considered when whale populations are being studied. There is increasing evidence that such noise pollution could be having a negative impact on the marine environment as a whole and cetaceans in particular."
