In the Mediterranean Sea, marine life is threatened by habitat degradation due to human causes such as intense fishing, ship traffic, chemical pollution, coastal industrialisation, and seismic surveys for the exploitation of oil and gas resources. Other than being affected by chemical pollution, which contaminates the entire marine food web, cetaceans are also affected by noise pollution. Case studies in Italian seas are presented.

Abstract

In the Mediterranean Sea, marine life is threatened by habitat degradation due to human causes such as intense fishing, ship traffic, chemical pollution, coastal industrialisation, and seismic surveys for the exploitation of oil and gas resources. Other than being affected by chemical pollution, which contaminates the entire marine food web, cetaceans are also affected by noise pollution. Case studies in Italian seas are presented.
