Abstract：
Underwater noise pollution is a significant environmental issue that can have detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. One of the main sources of underwater noise pollution is ship traffic, which has been shown to negatively impact marine animals by masking communication signals and altering their behaviors. This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of underwater ship noise in the Red Sea, wherein noise maps of ships sailing through the main shipping lane in the Red Sea were simulated by integrating both anthropogenic and environmental variables. These maps offer valuable insights for policymakers, enabling them to make informed decisions and implement targeted mitigation efforts.
摘要：
水下噪声污染是一个重要的环境问题，可能对海洋生态系统产生不利影响。水下噪声污染的主要来源之一是船舶交通，已被证明通过掩盖通信信号并改变其行为来对海洋动物产生负面影响。这项研究代表了对红海水下船舶噪声的首次综合分析，其中，通过整合人为变量和环境变量来模拟通过红海主要航道航行的船舶的噪声图。这些地图为决策者提供了宝贵的见解，使他们能够做出明智的决定并实施有针对性的缓解措施。
