| Zusammenfassung: | A method of alerting marine mammals and other mammals underwater to the danger of approaching motor vessels includes generating a pulsed acoustical signal at a predetermined source frequency and at a fixed or variable (with boat speed) sound pressure level and projecting the generated signal underwater in a highly directional manner from a motor vessel and in a direction corresponding with the direction of travel of the motor vessel or from fixed hazards which present a danger to mammals underwater; the projected pulsed acoustical signal having an underwater frequency ranging between 3 kHz and 26 kHz. |
