| Previous DNS Monthly Meeting: Tues. March 7, 2023 Speaker: Kieran Cox PhD Topic: Human Impacts on Marine Ecosystems (linked to YouTube recording of Zoom presentation) |
Poster by Geof Hacker – see also DNS Posters Archive
Marine noise pollution is now ubiquitous along British Columbia’s coastal line. The species that reside within these ecosystems contend with the direct and indirect effects of anthropogenically modified soundscapes. The release of this pollution and the ecological effects it elicits occur unimpeded, as no comprehensive federal or provincial laws regulate ocean noise in British Columbia.
This issue is of national concern as the prevalence and severity of marine noise pollution are projected to increase rapidly and expand further into northern British Columbia due to approved resource projects and expanding coastal developments.
Dr. Kieran Cox is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the Earth to Oceans Group at Simon Fraser University. This post-doctoral fellowship seeks to support early-career scientists to conduct and communicate world-class research that informs conservation and management issues relevant to Canada.
