sonar and marine life interactions

Sonar uses sound waves to detect objects underwater, which helps with navigation, communication, and mapping. Marine life, such as whales and dolphins, rely on sound for communication and hunting. Sonar sounds can interfere with their ability to hear or communicate, potentially causing disorientation or stress. Some marine animals may change their behavior or migrate away from areas with intense sonar signals. Understanding these interactions helps us develop strategies to minimize harm to marine ecosystems while using sonar technology for human activities.
