Investigate selected potential impacts of exposure to a seismic survey on demersal fishes, pearl oysters and infauna across different spatial and temporal scales. Man-made noise is increasing rapidly in marine environments and is recognised as a pollutant of global importance. Management of this issue requires a better understanding of the effect of noise on organisms at all levels of the marine food chain. As part of the North West Shoals to Shore program, AIMS is investigating the long and short-term impacts of marine noise from the petroleum industry on plankton, pearl oysters and fish. The studies are also measuring the quality and amount of noise pollution produced by the seismic surveys and vessel activity to produce real-world information about the impacts.
