The manner in which underwater explosions differ from low-amplitude point sources of sound is considered theoretically, especially effects due to cavitation near the sea surface. Some...

Background: There is a variety of evidence that increased anthropogenic noise (e.g., shipping, explosions, sonar) has a measureable effect on marine mammal species. Observed impacts range...
