“…The variety of anthropogenic pressures includes interactions with fisheries (entanglement, bycatch, prey depletion) (Read, 2008;Reeves et al, 2013), physical and acoustic disturbance mainly by marine traffic (ship strikes, underwater noise) (Erbe et al, 2019;Pennino et al, 2017), seismic activities from oil and gas exploration and naval sonars (Henderson et al, 2014;Rosenbaum and Collins, 2006), and pollution (oil spills, plastic debris, heavy metals, and other chemicals) (Allen et al, 2011;Monk et al, 2014;Tanabe, 2002;Venn-Watson et al, 2015). New threats have also been recognized, including coastal-offshore development and energy production, resource extraction, tourism, and climate change (MacLeod, 2009;Passadore et al, 2018). A prominent stressor to cetaceans is marine traffic which is to some extent linked to shipping (Coomber et al, 2016).…”
