Shhhh, the whales are resting
We need new guidelines to shield whales from human-made noise to ensure them some peace and quiet. It is no good keeping whale-watching boats out of whales’ sight if the noise from the boats’ engines disturb the whales most. And whales can hear the boats’ engines from far away, according to a Danish-Australian research team.
