Vessel noise in spatially constricted areas: Modeling acoustic footprints of large vessels in the Cabot Strait, Eastern Canada

Large commercial vessel traffic is expected to continue growing over the next decades, making marine habitats noisier. This additional vessel noise could prevent the recovery of endangered marine species and populations and become a threat to others. Spatially constricted areas are places where both...

description Large commercial vessel traffic is expected to continue growing over the next decades, making marine habitats noisier. This additional vessel noise could prevent the recovery of endangered marine species and populations and become a threat to others. Spatially constricted areas are places where both maritime traffic and species can concentrate, increasing the risks of negative impacts. We assessed sound amplitude and temporal trends in the daily movement of large ferries, container ships, bulkers, and tankers in the Cabot Strait, the main entrance way to the Gulf of St. Lawrence Seaway in Atlantic Canada. We used Automatic Identification System (AIS) and geophysical data as input for an acoustic model to produce 12 scenarios representing different regimes of vessel traffic and estimated equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) over a 24-h period. Our results show that a 50% increase from the estimated median number of large vessel transits could lead to a 23% increase in the area affected by vessel noise, while doubling the number of transits could lead to a 58% increase.
